...What really stood out above all was your commitment to safety. The river was BIG and all the measures you had in place to make us feel safe made the trip that much more fun...
Class V Rafting
he ultimate challenge in white water rafting! Class five rafting is strenuous, adventurous, and for those who are ready, an incredibly fulfilling experience.
Previous rafting experience is helpful, but it is not always required. What is required is full participation, teamwork, and an adventurous spirit! While you need not be an athlete, good physical condition is also required. Typically our class V clients jog, play tennis, ski, swim, do aerobics, bicycle, etc. regularly to stay in shape.
Each trip begins with extensive training and may include a Class-V Paddler's Test. This is not competitive or macho - it is done to emphasize teamwork, build confidence, to serve as a tool for you, and for us to judge your readiness to paddle class V. For more info on this test click here.
We love these trips, take more people down class V rivers then anyone in our area, and have extremely accomplished class V guides. Below are our regularly offered trips. You can also give us a call for a custom trip.

Best Rafting Guides and Outfitter EVER
I think I have been on a half dozen trips with Momentum (and dozens with other river outfitters so I know what I am talking about in this one limited area). Momentum rocks! Absolutely the best in every category. The guides are unbelievable in their knowledge of the suroundings and in their ability to make everyone feel welcome and challenged. The food is first class. Every trip is pure fun from dawn till late night. Website does a spectacular job of helping to select the best trips -- with buddies, with kids or with the grandparents. Excellent value.
Amazing Trip
I know it’s rare, but Momentum is a company that delivers everything they promise. Great guides, great food, great gear, great times. Support this company!
trip down the Klamath
First time river rafting at age 58 and we did class 4 rapids. We had early teen kids up to age 65 on our trip. With Eric's professionalism and experience and commands regularly blasting in my ear, we did great and I had an absolute blast. Would recommend this guide, company and trip without qualification to anyone.
