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 fantastic experience. Our guide Brett was professional, knowledgeable, and very funny. The rafting trip was very well-organized and tremendously fun!

We wanted to do something as a family that all of us could enjoy (two retirees, two adult children and one teenager) and although it was a bit daunting for this mom, it was also one of the best experiences ever. If you’re looking for an easy, relaxing float down the river keep on looking. On this trip you WILL work and the water IS cold, but it is is worth it if you are looking for an exciting Colorado adventure. Our tour guide was Taz and he was amazing. We would highly recommend Taz as your guide, you will not be disappointed.

GREAT rafting trip with wonderful guides Taz and Lammert. Highly recommend this excursion. For someone who is slightly scared of rafting, these guides made the expedition feel both fun, safe and highly entertaining!
