Ultimate White Water
Upper, Middle and Lower Canyon - 27 kms
Raft every rapid the Kicking Horse River has to offer! Starting with calmer rapids on the upper canyon, you can get to know your fellow rafters while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Kicking Horse Canyon.
Then it's on to the thrill of the middle canyon rapids with Portage and Shotgun before pushing forward to the lower canyon. Known for deep canyon walls and mighty rapids, it is the most challenging part of the Kicking Horse River. This section of river offers one of the longest, sustained class 4 to 4+ sections of whitewater in Western Canada. After an intense whitewater ride, the river calms and ends in the town of Golden. This trip is sure to satisfy even the most adventurous thrill seeker!!
