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 morning Royal Gorge run with Kyle, and had an absolute blast. Stop searching and book this trip. Kyle was knowledgable, explained the safety info in a way that was comprehensive but still captured our attention, the trip itself was amazing. Great views, solidly challenging for some intermediate rowers (j/k, Kyle, paddlers). I've done a couple rafting trips and this was the best one yet, book Kyle, tip him well, and have a blast.

An amazing time! We did the full day with the back half down the Royal Gorge. Our guide just happened to be the owner of ART and was very skilled and knowledgeable about the river and canyon. I've rafted a bunch on other rivers, I appreciated ART's small business approach to the whole process. It was a great experience and I will do it again next time I am in CO. PS - I would recommend stretching or even some yoga before rafting the gorge... i am nursing some sore muscles today with lots of vitamins i.
