What should I bring on rafting trips?

Here's a list of items to remember to bring:

SUN GLASSES, preferably with croakies or some means of securing them from falling.
Tent must be less than 3 lbs
SUN SCREEN and BRIMMED HAT. (Baseball caps are OK)
T-SHIRTS and SHORTS or FAST DRYING PANTS. Swim suits are fine. You can count on getting wet. We have found that cotton, particularly blue jeans, remain wet and uncomfortable.
TEVAS, SANDALS, or OLD TENNIS SHOES. You will be walking on the river banks and foot protection is necessary. Should you choose to swim or wade, the river bottom can have unseen rocks or sticks.
SWEATER and LIGHT WATER RESISTANT JACKET. (Synthetic, fleece and wool materials generally provide warmth even when wet) Afternoon showers are common and temperatures can vary throughout the day. Our guides will provide you with rain wear as well as dry storage bags if needed.
DRY CLOTHES AND SHOES FOR AFTER THE TRIP
Any PERSONAL MEDICATIONS.
WATER BOTTLE. You may wish to fill it with lemonade or your own personal water supply.
WATERPROOF CAMERA. You'll be rafting through some of the most beautiful country in the state of Colorado. You may also have the opportunity to photograph wildlife including muledeer, elk and eagles.
You may put your wallets and other valuables in one of our dry bags on the raft if you wish. Try to bring as few valuables as possible for we cannot be responsible for them.
