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.

I just came home from a three day rafting trip with ART. We rafted in various spots over three days with two overnight camp-outs, right on the water's edge. The ART staff and guides were awesome (thanks Maggie) and took excellent care of us from first coffee to last call each day. We finished with two runs down the Royal Gorge and didn't spill a single "swimmer". This was the best trip I've been on in years.

The BEST rafting experience in Colorado. We went with Elephant Man as our guide and he was super experienced and knowledgeable. The rapids were amazing through the Gorge. You will definitely get VERY wet in June. We went in the morning and it was perfect weather.
