A Few Quick Answers

BEFORE YOU
CONTACT US

What's the best trip for families?

Salida Valley is our mellowest option and starts at age 5. Bear Creek starts at age 6 and adds more splash. Browns Canyon starts at age 7 and is our classic Class III rafting trip.

Do we need rafting experience?

No experience is required for Salida Valley, Bear Creek, or Browns Canyon. Your guide will cover what you need to know before getting on the river.

Can I bring my dog?

Dogs are allowed on select Class II and III trips with advance approval. Call before booking so we can talk through the dog, trip, and current conditions.

Can you help with a group trip?

Yes. Contact us with your approximate group size, ages, dates, and the kind of rafting experience you're looking for.

Where do rafting trips meet?

All Monumental rafting trips meet at our office inside Chalk Creek Campground at 11430 County Road 197 in Nathrop.

How early should we arrive?

Plan to arrive about 30 minutes before your scheduled trip so everyone has time to check in and get geared up.
