Advanced Royal Gorge Whitewater Rafting Trip

Overview

Royal Gorge whitewater rafting is the ultimate half/full day rafting adventure trip in Colorado. Huge waves, steep technical drops, and almost continuous whitewater rapids in a narrow canyon await you with rapids like Sledgehammer, Wallslammer, the Narrows, Boateater and the infamous Sunshine Falls. The Royal Gorge may demand so much attention you don't even notice the world famous Royal Gorge Bridge 1053 feet above the river. This exhilarating trip is recommended for rafters or adventurers in good physical shape who are ready for aggressive paddling. Our Royal Gorge whitewater rafting trips are our most popular advanced trips! If you are seeking lots of excitement, this trip is for you and your group. Lunch will be served at a stop on the river.

We did the one in Cotopaxi but I can't get it to come up on here. It's not far and it's the same outfitter. This is an amazing experience! If you like water coasters, it's a great deal of fun! ART's guides are very well trained and ours were Cat and Christina, who are both amazing and very obviously LOVE their jobs! We did the Brown's Canyon tour and the Royal Gorge the next day. The tent and sleeping bag on the river were surprisingly comfortable and I love sleeping to the natural white noise of the Arkansas flowing! Cat and Christina will keep you safe, just follow their instructions, they know the river like the back of their hands! We will probably request them next time if they're still there. Everyone who likes water and nature should put this on their bucket list! It is reasonably priced too, about 1195 for 2 day rafting and camping, with several meals and a great photo package! Thanks again, C-Cat and Christina!!!
