Grand Canyon Rafting Check List
What should I bring with me?
Following is a suggested packing list. Rain gear is especially
important: Please pack a complete rainsuit for ALL trips, not ponchos. You may
experience temperature extremes at any time of year. The river water is only 50
degrees F and when riding rapids on a cloudy day (even in July) you will want a
rainsuit handy.
- Duffel Bag. When packed, it should measure
approximately 26 x 14 x 14 inches so that it will fit
into our waterproof bag that we supply for your use on the river. Duffel bag
dimensions may vary. Soft, frameless backpacks can be used as duffel bags. No
rigid frames, please!
- Rainsuit. Not just for rain, also needed
for riding through the rapids on all trips. Do not bring ponchos.
- Shoes. Bring two pairs: One comfortable,
well worn shoe with a good tread. One Teva-style sandal is okay. Hiking boots
are okay for hiking in or out of the Canyon, but we do not consider hiking
boots a necessary item on the river.
- Socks. Several pair, to prevent sunburned
ankles and feet and to wear while hiking.
- Swimsuit. Quick-drying. Women often
find a two-piece convenient for use as underclothing while on the river.
- Underwear. Several pair.
- Hat. With tie strings and a brim that will
shade your face.
- Jacket, Sweater or Sweatshirt/Sweatpants.
- Shirts or Tops. At least one should have
long sleeves. Quick drying.
- Slacks and/or Shorts. Comfortable and
quick-drying. Be sure to bring at least one pair of light weight, cotton long
pants (also good for sun cover). No jeans.
- Nightshirt (pajamas). Optional.

packing:
- Canteen. One 2-quart, two if hiking in or
out of the Canyon.
- Personal prescription medicines
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- Camera, film and extra battery
- Small pillow. Optional
