About Red Canyon River Trips and Wild Mustang Tours
Red Canyon River Trips and Wild Mustang Tours is a Cody-based outfitter that pairs Shoshone River whitewater rafting with guided tours to see the wild mustang herds of the McCullough Peaks. Run out of downtown Cody, the company has built a reputation for combining two of the region's signature experiences — moving water and free-roaming horses — into a single, easy-to-book adventure day close to Yellowstone's east entrance.
On the river, guests choose between gentle scenic sections ideal for families and children and more spirited whitewater runs through the dramatic Red Canyon walls of the Shoshone. All rafting trips include professional guides, life jackets, and gear. On land, their wild mustang tours head out to the McCullough Peaks Herd Management Area, where knowledgeable guides help spot and interpret one of Wyoming's protected wild horse populations against a stark badlands backdrop, with wildlife and scenery photography a highlight.
The draw of Red Canyon is its versatility and family-friendly focus — visitors can build a full itinerary of rafting, mustang viewing, and Yellowstone touring without switching operators. Multiple daily rafting departures through the warm months, a convenient in-town meeting point, and guides who know both the river corridor and the surrounding public lands make it a practical choice for travellers wanting a broad taste of the Cody-Yellowstone area.
