The Racecourse section is our most popular half-day trip, ranging from a wild class III+ ride during the spring high-water to a rocky and more technical run as the water goes down in July and August. In spring and early summer, be prepared for cold water, big waves, and plenty of excitement. As summer continues, your guide will be depending on you to help steer the raft through many tight slots. In addition, the water warms up and there is more opportunity for warm-water fun, such as swimming and boat surfing.

The Racecourse is a great trip for beginning whitewater enthusiasts, as well as experienced rafters looking for some time on the river. Minimum age is six, although Kokopelli Rafting Adventures reserves the right to raise the age limit during extremely high water.
