The Town Run and Bighorn Sheep Canyon in one day, with a riverside lunch.
Raft class · Easiest
Class I Rafting on the Arkansas River
What Class I feels like
Class I is moving water with small, easy waves and few obstacles. On our trips it's the calm stretches between rapids: time to look for wildlife, take in the mountains and let the kids trail a hand in the water.
No experience needed, and swims are rare. You'll find Class I water on the Salida Town Run and in Bighorn Sheep Canyon, mixed with some Class II splash.
