For a comfortable and safe rafting trip on the Colorado River, it’s best to avoid cotton clothing since it absorbs water and can sap warmth from your body. Instead, opt for bathing suits, shorts, or quick-drying, long-sleeved and long-legged clothing. Secure footwear like water sandals or tennis shoes are essential—flip-flops and Crocs won’t stay on! Towels are best left in your vehicle, as there’s no way to keep them dry on the river. For the best rafting experience, choose materials like wool, polypro, fleece, microfiber, or polyester, and wear waterproof jackets that dry quickly. Keep in mind, space is limited on the raft, so only bring what you’re wearing. Personal flotation devices (PFDs) are included for all rafting adventures.
