About the Arkansas River Bighorn Sheep Canyon Half Day Trip

Get some rafting experience under your belt on this family-friendly half day trip through beautiful Bighorn Sheep Canyon. This trip combines the perfect amount of fast-paced whitewater with mellow, mild rapids to create a fantastic trip suitable for first-timers and outgoing kids. It’s a favorite among families who take Colorado rafting trips!

In addition to the fun, splashy rapids you will experience on the river, enjoy the fantastic Colorado scenery. Bighorn Sheep Canyon is full of interesting geological formations and an abundance of wildlife, including the Colorado Bighorn Sheep – of course! Enjoy this adventure as a Full Day trip, or for a similar rafting experience further upstream near Buena Vista, take a look at our Lower Browns Canyon or Browns Canyon Half Day.

  • Lydia filled us with confidence. She was skilled and knowledgeable and explained each set of rapids so we knew what to expect. She was great company and we had the best experience. She was brilliant.

  • I spent several days researching various rafting options and after speaking w/your team was sold. We were not disappointed-the trip is spectacular and our guide Sean was informative, lively professional and entertaining.
