Bring a dry change of clothes
Mountain stream water is cold; plan to change into warm, dry layers immediately after the trip to avoid chill.
Trust the guide on jumps
Guides assess depth and currents; only jump when cleared—technique beats impulse for safety.
Hydrate before you go
Short but intense exertion in cold water makes pre-trip hydration important—carry a bottle for before and after.
Shoes with grip matter
Wear sticky-soled canyon or approach shoes; wet rock is slippery and proper footwear helps every move.
Wetsuit (provided but bring a liner)
A neoprene liner under the provided wetsuit adds warmth during cold-spring flows.
