2 Day – Class 5 White Water Rafting Trip
Ready for some outstanding Colorado white water rafting? Take on the Arkansas River’s most popular class V sections…the Numbers AND the Royal Gorge. Riverside camping includes freshly prepared meals from lunch on the first day to lunch on the last day. This vehicle-assisted overnight trip will meet and depart from our office near Buena Vista, CO. Together we will tackle the fast-paced and technical Numbers in the morning ending the day with the exhilarating Narrows on the first day. Driving a short distance to our campsite allows us to bring all the comforts of home.
You will wake up early on day two to steaming hot coffee or hot chocolate and a satisfying breakfast before taking off to the infamous Royal Gorge. Hit the river and enjoy class III-IV rapids before lunch then travel into the heart of the Royal Gorge and the challenging class 5 white water rapids for the afternoon. Your Royal Gorge raft trip will finish in Cañon City and return to our office in Buena Vista.
Note: We may run this trip in reverse (Royal Gorge before Numbers) depending on availability and/or rationing.
