Top 1 kids-friendly things to do in Claypool

1. Full-day whitewater rafting on the Salt River

Ten miles of class III-IV rapids, panoramic views of desert flora and red canyon walls, perfect for adventurous families looking for a memorable outdoor experience.

“Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed our river adventure, benefiting from excellent conditions with a pleasant water level at 3000 CFS. The canyon's beauty was awe-inspiring, and we were thrilled that it was open for excursions again this spring. The entire crew prioritized safety, demonstrated expertise, and was exceptionally friendly. Upon arrival, we were welcomed warmly and quickly took care of our waivers and permits before gearing up. After an in-depth lesson on commands and paddling techniques from our guide, Gato, we practiced in the water before starting our journey. Gato enriched our experience with her insights about the river and its native history throughout the day. She is a fantastic guide and incredibly enjoyable to be with. We're looking forward to seeing her in Colorado later this summer. At day’s end, we boarded a bus for a 30-minute ride back upstream. It was an exhilarating adventure; you're guaranteed to have a great time!”— Kate H
