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!

Just book it!!! We had a BLAST! Group of 10 divided into two rafts. Our guide was Shaun and he was AMAZING!! Extremely personable and very knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with him on the river. GREAT Level I4 rapids. The footholds in the raft were something I hadn’t seen before and definitely made us feel more secured in! Highly recommend this group.

We had a blast rafting down upper clear creek! Our guide Seth was personable, knowledgeable, and lots of fun to be around! Was definitely shorter than I thought, only about 2.5 hours including travel time on the bus, maybe around an hour on the water. I liked that they had helmets with attachments for my go pro camera, so I got great footage! Next time we'll go another rapid class up and a longer day!
