About Canon City Rafting – Royal Gorge White Water
If you’re looking for a wilder Canon City rafting experience featuring exciting whitewater, our full day Royal Gorge trip may be just what you’re looking for.
Considered some of the best rafting in Colorado, Royal Gorge white water on the Arkansas River is the most popular extreme trip in the state for good reason. Drop after drop of pounding whitewater framed by stunning sheer cliffs means adrenaline-laced excitement for you and your friends—and stories you’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re an experienced rafter looking for a more intense adventure, take a look at our extreme Colorado white water rafting trips in Royal Gorge and get ready for the ride of a lifetime.
We spend the morning warming up for Royal Gorge white water rafting in the scenic Bighorn Sheep Canyon, a picturesque stretch of whitewater where the rapids are similar to those found in Browns Canyon. After a delicious deli lunch, we’ll take the plunge into one of the most exciting spots for white water rafting in Colorado. Be prepared—the Royal Gorge is known for its big, 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!
And if it turns out that you do sneak a peek, enjoy the views of one of the world’s highest suspension bridges – 1,053 feet!
Our Royal Gorge Full Day advanced rafting trips are tougher than the more playful Browns Canyon and previous experience is suggested. If you’ve already rafted this great Canon City rafting section of river, you should consider taking it up a notch by tackling the challenging Numbers section of the Arkansas near Buena Vista.
