Whitewater Raft Clear Creek - Intermediate Cannonball Run

Whitewater Raft Clear Creek - Intermediate Cannonball Run

Overview

Clear Creek is one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in Colorado, and for great reasons. The canyon offers all levels of whitewater challenge, and easy access. The setting includes scenic flats, mining ruins, wildlife, and, of course, exciting whitewater flowing over rocks.

Nearby is Idaho Springs, where the gold rush began. It is the first city founded in Colorado, in 1859. This quaint town is nestled in the foothills of some of Colorado’s best mountains and holds a unique place in the state’s history. As the place where the Colorado Gold Rush started, this little town holds a lot of secrets, including one of the best river rafting areas in the State!

Conveniently located about 30 minutes west of Denver, and close to Breckenridge, Silverthorne, Dillon, and Winter Park, Clear Creek has rafting trip options for varying ability and experience levels.

While other, larger companies shuttle you to the launch point in school buses, Colorado Rafting Co. takes you in a more intimate van (at least in my case). The entire experience was intimate, from start to finish. Our guide was great and navigated our section of Clear Creek like a pro and made it look easy. We went on the first run of the morning which tends to have the best weather. I feared it might be cold, but it was great. The free wetsuit (which I wore) was nice, but I realized afterwards that I needn't have worn it. My Keens were great to wear on the boat--I didn't use the optional neoprene booties available for rental. All in our party (3 of us) loved the adventure down Clear Creek. We went down the river together with one other group, which also had 3 people in their boat. Again, nice and intimate. Highly recommended.

We are very proud to be a 4-season guide service with the highest-quality specialist guides that excel in everything from backcountry skiing to, yes, whitewater rafting and river safety education. We own a lot of 15-person vans but no 50-kid ex-school buses, you're correct! Thanks for mentioning that, and we're glad you had fun. Thanks for the great advice about the best time of day to go, and for your clothing observations. See you again soon.

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Clear Creek Cannonball Run, and it was an unforgettable adventure! Our guide, Colin Rodgers, was knowledgeable, super fun, and made sure everyone in the group felt safe and excited throughout the journey. The rapids were thrilling, and the scenic beauty of Clear Creek added to the magic. If you're looking for an exhilarating and memorable whitewater rafting experience, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Thanks so much for the glowing review! Clear Creek is unique in that for much of the season it offers beginner, intermediate, or advanced runs. Pick the class of rapids you want, and go get wet!
