Royal Gorge Rafting

Exciting Whitewater in the Royal Gorge, Arkansas River

The Royal Gorge is known for its big and powerful drops. Sheer walls, over 1000 feet high, channel the river into narrow, powerful rapids where the views are awe inspiring-if you have the time to look!

We start this trip upstream in Bighorn Sheep Canyon and have the morning to prepare our skills before tackling the Gorge. Our advanced trips are tougher than the more playful Browns Canyon and previous experience is suggested.

If you have already rafted this great section of river, you should consider taking a step up in difficulty and trying the Numbers section of the Arkansas near Buena Vista.
