Snowmelt has come early to Colorado this year, which means Arkansas River flows are higher than normal for this time of year.

Rather than the end of May, our big whitewater season is starting a few weeks earlier, with our first raft trip heading out the last weekend in April. 

So, don’t delay. Book your Colorado whitewater rafting trip today!

World-Class Whitewater and Adrenaline 

If world-class whitewater and adrenaline are your jam, consider rafting the Numbers or the Royal Gorge in May and June. 

The Numbers features continuous, technical whitewater for folks who want to send it with style within a forest of ponderosa and pinon pines, spruce, and juniper.

If you prefer bigger waves, warmer water, and towering cliffs in an arid environment rafting, the Royal Gorge may be for you.   

Both the Numbers and the Royal Gorge feature exciting class IV-V whitewater for an excitement level of 10!

There’s Still Great Water for Beginners & Families

For those who may want a more intermediate challenge, Browns Canyon of the Arkansas River offers a wilderness-type experience nestled in an amazing granite canyon with calm, serene stretches of river interspersed with fantastic class III-IV whitewater. Our Browns Canyon raft trips are perfect for beginner rafters and families.

Get the Best of Both Worlds

Not sure which trip to choose?  Get the best of all worlds by booking an Arkansas Extreme trip, featuring both the Royal Gorge and Numbers over two days, with a campout under the stars in between. 

Another option is the Browns Canyon/Numbers combo, where you’ll raft Browns Canyon in the morning, enjoy a hearty lunch, and then take on the challenge of the Numbers in the afternoon!
