Safety basics before you float
River conditions change. Check weather, flow, canyon access, and your group’s swimming ability before committing to a float. Kids and weaker swimmers should wear life jackets, and every group should avoid risky tie-ups or choices that make it hard to separate, steer, or exit safely.
