Do the ‘Ridge… and the Trough!

Choose either a half-day or full-day trip that puts you right in the thick of it—Colorado as you can only see it by living it.

 

Chillin’ at the River

From Breckenridge, White Water Rafting is a short drive away over passes and through valleys that will amaze even the most jaded traveler. There are numerous rafting outfitters who can accommodate your group, from individuals to large groups. Bond with your inner self, your family and friends, and nature—and have a rip-roaring time while you’re at it!

 

TIP! Colorado’s high altitude makes you thirstier than normal, so always take and drink a lot of water when on a road trip or outdoor activity.

Wildhorse Canyon

Wildhorse Canyon is a pulse-quickening section of Adventure Class Whitewater that is pretty much non-stop action, especially at higher water levels. Located just upstream of Browns Canyon, the rapids here tend to be more continuous with fewer opportunities for casual floating. With some sections as narrow as 12 feet, the fast-flowing water creates a vigorous pace! You will catch glimpses of the high peaks in between the challenges of navigating rapids such as Frog Rock Rapid, Little Seidel's, and House Rock.

The Numbers (More Advanced)

This section of the Arkansas is considered by many to be the ultimate adrenaline rush on the Arkansas River! The Numbers is a narrow, rocky, steep, cold-water run requiring advanced skills. Beginning at nearly 9,000 feet in elevation, this section requires the negotiation of tight maneuvers and boat-crashing waves, delivering some of the most exciting rapids on the Arkansas River. Due to the vigorous nature of this section of Adventure Class Whitewater, all participants must be in good physical condition and have the ability to swim. Helmets are provided and wetsuits may be required. Minimum age depends on water levels and we may require prior rafting experience for this trip. Availability is limited so please call for more information.
