What
to Bring?
This
is the most frequently asked question. The answer depends
upon the season and whether your trips includes overnight
camping. Below you will find three equipment lists. The first
is for summer rafting, usually starting in mid June. The third
list includes extra items you will need for overnight camping.
Wilderness Adventures provides items you will need for rafting,
such as life jackets, paddles, helmets and any other items
we feel are necessary.
You
need to be prepared for three things: cold weather, cold water,
and sun. The first, (cold weather), is not important in the
summer, but having something extra to put on in a sudden change
of weather is desirable. Sunglasses and a hat are also advisable.
If you are extremely sun sensitive carry a long sleeve shirt
and long pants(light fabric not levi's)to put on. The factor
of water exposure means in hot weather you should wear nylon
or polyester or other quick-drying materials, and in cold
weather wear polypropylene or wool.
COTTON
IS THE WORST FABRIC TO WEAR ON THE RIVER (the only exception
would be for HOT summer days, cotton helps keep you cool and
minimizes the chances of sunburn)
