Transportation and Shuttles
How do we get to and from camp before and after rafting each day?
- We simply self-shuttle. Follow the guide car and drive your own vehicle and crew to the put in or take out. Drop off the cars and/or people and a designated shuttle driver takes the drivers back. It's really quite simple and easy!
