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!

AVA canceled our rafting trip and never contacted us to let us know. We had a half day rafting trip booked for seven people way in advance. Had to scramble to find another company last minute with availability for the weekend we were visiting.

Hi, We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with us. We understand that miscommunication is unacceptable, and we will be bringing this issue up with our team. Unfortunately, we do sometimes need to cancel rafting trips due to river conditions that are out of our control, as river flow and water levels vary greatly at this point in the season. Safety is our top priority, and we will cancel trips if river levels are too low to safely raft. Please do not hesitate to contact our team if you would like to discuss this issue further.

Kris masterfully guided our craft down the tumultuous clear creek. We were thankful to stay in the boat with such a knowledgeable, experienced and patient captain.

Awesome day out on the water! 100% would book again. The class four rapids were amazing, just two boats so we got to take our time and enjoy the ride.
