Unique Wilderness Rafting on the Gunnison River

Come be adopted into a small and exclusive club known only as those who have paddled the Gunnison Gorge! With limited access and restrictions on group sizes, Wilderness Aware Rafting is proud to be one of very few outfitters that can offer this experience.

Visitors will be astounded by this deep and magnificent black granite canyon, which offers technical rapids, gold medal fishing, and beautiful beaches perfect for camping. Let our experienced guides take you down the river in style with the best gear and the finest grub you can imagine.

Oh, and sure to bring the camera, you will never see more beautiful scenery. We guarantee it.

They Say It’s Going to be a Hot One!

If you listen to the weather forecast, it’s looking like it’s going to be a long, hot summer. Plan now to escape the city heat and get on the Arkansas River. Load up the whole family and visit the high mountains!

Whether you’ve never been on a river or are a hotshot paddler, the Arkansas River offers good, clean, wet fun throughout the summer. 

Think about it. Get up to high altitude, deep into the canyon, and onto water that was recently snow.

Now that you’ve thought about it, make your reservations now, and you won’t miss out!
