Whatever you are seeking ... an introduction to splashy Class II whitewater for your family, a challenging whitewater adrenaline-pumping thrill through the Royal Gorge, or something in-between ... we have rafts and guides waiting to create a wonderful vacation memory for you and your family.
THE ARKANSAS RIVER is the most popular rafting destination in Colorado and the closest to Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Join us for one of our simple and easy vacation adventure packages, including Raft-n-Rail, Raft & Zipline, Raft & ATV, or Raft-n-Bridge.
ON-SITE: Relax after your trip at our full-service restaurant, the 8 Mile Bar & Grill (seasonal). Stay in one of our Family Vacation Homes or Deluxe Glamping Cabins.
LOCAL GUIDES: Our professional guides are trained better than any other outfitter's guides in Colorado; they have more medical training, more river rescue training, more customer service training, and more knowledge about local plants, animals, history, and geology.
