By driving your own vehicle to the river put-in location, you will not only experience the best Class 3+ whitewater in the Jasper area but will also have the flexibility to spend the rest of your day exploring the majestic Mount Robson area at your leisure. This trip offers an exhilarating ride through the turbulent rapids of the 'Mighty Fraser' while surrounded by awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies views.
Drive your own vehicle to the Fraser River launching point, located just outside Mount Robson Provincial Park. On arrival, you will check-in at the River Shack where your guide will provide the necessary technical equipment including paddles, wetsuits, neoprene booties, paddle jackets and helmets. Being prepared with your swimsuit on under your clothes allows you to be suited up and ready for the river in record time
After a short instruction/safety briefing in the shadow of Mt. Robson, your highly experienced, certified river guide will launch your raft into the river and expertly maneuver it downriver through sections of turbulent rapids and swirling eddies. On this trip, you'll tackle intermediate Class 3 rapids. No experience is necessary but be prepared to get soaked on this exciting, wet and adrenaline-producing trip.
About mid-way downriver, you'll pull-in to the shore for a short land portage around the impressive Rearguard Falls. Jumping back on board at the base of the falls, you'll continue through more sections of whitewater, passing steep canyon walls while surrounded by a backdrop of spectacular Canadian Rockies scenery. Be sure to keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife and seasonal spawning salmon along the way. At the end of the run, you will be transported back to the starting point. Your car will be waiting allowing you to spend the rest of the day exploring the beautiful Mount Robson area at your leisure.
The total round-trip time is 3 hours which includes 2 hours of rafting (with a short portage), instruction/safety briefing and bus transfers back to the launching point. These trips do not require any previous experience and are suited for physically active individuals, 12 years and above and weighing at least 90 lbs (41 kgs).
