WHY CHOOSE
WILDERNESS AWARE FOR YOUR OVERNIGHT ADVENTURE? |
|
We have specialized in running multi-day rafting
adventure trips in Colorado since 1976. Wilderness Aware runs more overnight
whitewater rafting trips on the Arkansas River than any other river outfitter.
This experience gives us the competitive edge when it comes to organizing your
river rafting adventure. Our status as a two-time winner of the
Colorado Company of the Year Award
highlights the high quality you can expect on our trips. Multi-Day trips on the
Arkansas River can be scheduled on any day of the week with as few as two
people. |

 3-Day Arkansas River Whitewater
Rafting
Combine three of the Arkansas' best whitewater
sections into a great three-day whitewater rafting camping vacation where you
can experience the fun of self-contained overnight camping by the river for two
nights. Three day rafting vacations continue downstream past the
Two-day trips ending point. The
first two days include both the Narrows and
Browns Canyon sections. A third
day of rafting on the Arkansas River offers you the opportunity to sit back
after exiting Browns Canyon to enjoy the spectacular valley views of the lower
Collegiate Peaks Range. Late in the morning of the third day, we enter the
steep and rocky Upper Bighorn Sheep
Canyon section where we occasionally catch glimpses of the sheer and jagged
Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The third day is a bit milder than the first three
days and a welcome break from the intensity of the first two days.
On the first night of your vacation, we camp on
federal land where a short stroll to a high point above camp yields
breathtaking views of the 14,000 foot Collegiate Peaks. Our camp for the second
night is located on a lush green bench above the river, on a private ranch
leased to Wilderness Aware. One of our favorite things about this three-day
vacation is that one entire day of rafting is away from cars and phones and
responsibilities. We like to think this is the "real world" that many of us
have forgotten exists!
For those interested in guiding their own boat and keeping their
adrenaline up, we have the option of using inflatable kayaks late on day two
and on day three. Inflatable kayaks are long skinny rafts that are more stable
than hard-shelled kayaks, but maneuvered with the same kind of two bladed
paddle that is used in a hard shell kayak. These little boats are perfect for
those looking for some extra excitement on their vacation.
