Seasonal Tips

Multi-adventure packages can be enjoyed throughout the year, with some seasonal considerations:

• Spring (March–May): Blooming trails, flowing rivers, and quieter crowds make early-season trips ideal for families seeking a colorful outdoor adventure. Some high-elevation hikes may still have snow.

• Summer (June–August): Warm temperatures, fully accessible rivers, and long daylight hours make summer perfect for combining rafting, tubing, and hiking. Families can enjoy extended trips without worrying about weather interruptions.

• Fall (September–November): Crisp air, fewer crowds, and stunning fall foliage provide a scenic backdrop for multi-adventure trips. River currents are manageable, and hiking trails are beautifully colored.

• Winter (December–February): Limited river trips may be available on calm sections; winter hikes are possible with proper gear. This season is ideal for smaller, quieter adventures for prepared families.

Your guide will help you select the best combination of activities for the season to maximize enjoyment and safety.
