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!

My husband and I just finished this 1/2 day white water rafting adventure, and it was a blast. Our guide Shaun was knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we were able to experience the river to the fullest. One warning, be prepared for sudden rain and the accompanying drop in temperature as the weather in Colorado tends to change rapidly. Our trip went from warm and sunny to wet and chilly quickly. Fortunately, AVA provided wet suits and splash jackets that helped keep things a bit warmer. They also have a gift shop that features complementary coffee and sells a variety of clothing and essentials (sunscreen, glasses straps, water socks, etc.) in case you forgot something. Be sure to check out their other adventure opportunities as well. We also did the zip lining course, which was equally enjoyable.
