The Shoshone river run on the Colorado River is a popular stretch for rafting and kayaking. The run starts at the Shoshone Power Plant and ends at Grizzly Creek. The rapids on this section range from Class III to Class IV, making it a moderately difficult run. Some of the notable obstacles on the route include the Baptism, Tombstone, and Maneater rapids. The best time to float this section is during the summer months, when the water levels are highest. A minimum flow of 1,500 cfs is recommended for a fun and safe experience.
