Experience Colorado Overnight Rafting

5 Day – Colorado Overnight Rafting

If you are looking for a trip that combines all of the Arkansas River’s best white water sections into a great multi-day white water rafting adventure tour, this 5 Day Arkansas River trip may be for you!

Wilderness Aware is the only company in Colorado offering this length of an Arkansas River rafting tour. Day one begins in the Narrows, and we continue through Browns Canyon on day two. Day three passes through Upper Bighorn Sheep Canyon and day four passes through Lower Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Depending on the interest and experience level of those on this adventure, we can finish the trip around mid-day of day five, or finish by whitewater rafting through the Royal Gorge (ages 14+ only in the Royal Gorge section).

This is our favorite multi-day whitewater rafting trip on the Arkansas River and the longest rafting tour available in Colorado during mid to late summer. We like this white water rafting tour because the group can really get to know each other and develop a sense of community during the course of the week. This river tour is perfect for those with a week off and looking to really get to know this popular Colorado River.

For those interested in guiding their own boat and keeping their adrenaline up, we have the option of using inflatable kayaks on parts of the second through the fourth day. 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 Colorado rafting vacation.
