About

This tubing spot offers a wild ride that many find thrilling, though it is definitely not a lazy river. Visitors love the scenery and the chance to see elk, but warn that the rapids can be rough and the river rocky. Communication and safety instructions from staff are frequent points of contention. It is a budget-friendly adventure for those who know what they are getting into.
