We went to Idaho Springs specifically for the whitewater rafting offered by Clear Creek. There are different levels of rafting, beginners, intermediate, etc. Since this was on my Better Half's bucket list (not mine), my family took the intermediate. The photo I took is of the beginners tour, which cruised near where we were staying. Three sons, Better Half, and two guides (one was doing a refresher). Great time, helps if you pay attention, do your part, and follow the guide's instructions! (I personally was on shore - altitude sickness for me. Be ready for that and don't miss out on the fun.) By the way, Clear Creek will give your photos of your adventure - you may be a tad bit too busy to take any pics yourself! Your bucket list?
