What To Expect

Clear Creek Canyon

There is just enough time to warm up before you drop into the first advanced white water rapid on this thrilling stretch of Clear Creek river rafting! Just minutes from Denver, this continuous, steep, technical section will keep your paddle moving and your heart pounding as you crash through 8 miles of rapids such as Nomad and Phoenix Holes and Outer Limits. As you marvel at the beautiful Colorado scenery, keep a lookout for Big Horn Sheep, river otters, deer and other native wildlife that are commonly spotted on many of our Colorado whitewater rafting trips. Only 30 minutes from Denver and one hour from Boulder, Summit County and Winter Park, Clear Creek is the perfect option for all ages and abilities and adds excitement to all Colorado excursions!

We had a great time on the river! Chris was an excellent guide who made sure we were placed exactly in the right spot to enjoy the rapids. He even “rescued” a few folks on the river that day. It was an unusually cold June day and the water was 34 degrees so we purchase the insulated socks they had. Be sure to bring shoes that can get wet and they suggested not wearing cotton clothing under the wetsuits. We really enjoyed our day!

During our Colorado road trip stopped for some whitewater adventure. Jake our trip leader prepared us well and IVAN our guide was amazing! He created tons of fun and his level of experience made us feel safe and cared for every moment, while making us laugh. Perfectly balanced guide/leader. So grateful and blessed for the experience!
