Pre-Meeting Trips

Dates: Tuesday, May 28 – Thursday, May 30

Description: Packrafting can mean many things. It can include large scale multi-day expeditions with compounding logistics and challenges. But it can also include vehicle supported day-trips with friends close to home. Wyoming Rivers Cooperative has been offering a full suite of packrafting adventures since 2020, facilitating trips all over Wyoming. For this trip, we look forward to providing guests with an introduction to packrafts on two of the stretches of river near Cody. We will be fully outfitting guests with equipment and food, as well as instruction. WRC hopes to leave guests feeling more prepared to tackle their own adventures. Participants should expect a full-day out on the water in variable conditions on the 29th, with a half day on the 30th. We are excited to show you some truly wild country and help you discover new skills and passions.
