PORTAGE/SHOTGUN (4) Location: Middle Canyon
This 800 metre section is a classic example of a Glacier fed Class 4 Run ! Prior to running this rapid you'll have the opportunity to scout it with your guide and fellow rafters.
The beginning of the rapid is a glassy chute with a rapid called "Terminator" to the left. This smooth lead-up is no match for what's to come: A Class 4 Boulder field with overhead waves. Just when you think the fun is going to stop, the river bends and brings us to Shotgun: the crux maneuver of the Portage & Shotgun rapids. Shotgun is an underwater rock ledge which forms a fantastic pourover, giving you the sensation of dropping and getting soaked all in one!

ROLLER COASTER (3+) Location: Middle Canyon
This 0.5 Kilometre rapid is a friendly section of river that everyone will love. There are 9 waves in a row ranging from 7 to 10 feet high awaiting unsuspecting rafters! This section really gets the crew laughing as it literally feels as though you're riding a whitewater roller coaster!

WAVE TRAIN (4) Location: Lower Canyon
Thought we left the fun in the Middle Canyon? Think again! Wave Train is the first rapid in the Lower Canyon designed to give unsuspecting rafters a taste of what's to come. The Waves are similar to the Rapids of Roller Coaster in the Middle Canyon however steeper, bigger and faster! At it's biggest the waves are 15 feet high..that's two stories.

DOUBLE TROUBLE (4+) Location: Lower Canyon
After hitting the Wave Train above, seasoned rafters are now ready to take on the challenge of Double Trouble. The rapid consists of 2 monstrous waves at midpoint on the Lower Canyon section. When the raft is at the base of the waves it is impossible to see what's ahead beyond the frothing wave in front of you...A must do!

Why Kicking Horse?
While exploring a Rocky Mountain river in 1858, surveyor-geologist James Hector suffered a near-fatal kick by his packhorse. Hector survived, and the river and a nearby mountain pass were named in honour of the incident?
