What to Wear & How to Pack for a Multi-Day Rafting Trip with OARS

Packing for a rafting trip is different from packing for any other vacation—and if it's your first time, you probably have a few questions. In short, a lot of what you need to bring and wear for a multi-day river trip comes down to where you’re going, the season and the short-term forecast. And packing the right clothing and gear can truly make or break your river trip. Whether you’re rafting with OARS on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, headed to Idaho to raft the legendary Middle Fork of the Salmon River, or taking on California's Tuolumne River near Yosemite, this video is a great primer for how to pack smart so you’re prepared and comfortable.
