During the months of July and August, it can get very hot in Hell's Canyon. Please make sure you protect yourself from the sun according to your personal needs. Many rafters wear light colored long sleeve synthetic shirts and pants to protect their skin. During May, June and September Hell's Canyon can go from hot to cool and hot again. Do not hesitate to pack a little extra to ensure comfort for times both on and off the river. Need a little clothing advice? Just contact us.
