MILE HI RAFTING ADVENTURES - We offer fun professionally guided tours on Clear Creek and Arkansas rivers.
The Clear Creek River is the closest raftable river to downtown Denver, only requiring a 30-minute drive. This steep, narrow and technical river winds through the historic mining valley of Idaho Springs and contains more rapids than most commercially rafted rivers in the state. The river is open for rafting from May through July.
This relatively small stream offers trips for adventurous beginners and intermediate rafters with rapids generally Class II-III-IV, as well as great beginner runs on Clear Creek River. For an exciting advanced trip, you will experience a drop of over 1300 vertical feet and weave your way through 30 major rapids.
The Arkansas River is the most popular rafting river in America! From its headwaters at the historic mining area near Leadville; through scenic mountain towns like Buena Vista and Salida; to the breathtaking Royal Gorge and beyond. . . Colorado's Arkansas River has some of the nation's most exciting whitewater and amazing mountain views. From highly technical Class IV & V rapids (the Numbers near Granite & Buena Vista and The Royal Gorge near Canon City), to relaxing & scenic calm-water float trips, the Arkansas has it all.
