The Racecourse

The Racecourse is a half-day whitewater trip usually rated Class 3 and suitable for people 6 years old and over - though the water gets bigger and the minimum age goes up during the big spring runoff! Lots of moderately challenging rapids in a beautiful canyon with towering basalt and sandstone walls. The perfect family adventure.

Typical Class of Water: Class 3, Class 4 in high water
