180
Overview
Beginner Whitewater Rafting on Historic Clear Creek offers a splashy adventure for families and first-time rafters. Located in the heart of Colorado, Clear Creek boasts more rapids than almost any other river in the U.S., and the middle section provides the perfect introduction to whitewater excitement. Guests will paddle through exciting rapids, seeing glimpses of Colorado's rich gold mining history along the way.
This family-friendly rafting trip starts with a safety briefing and gear fitting at the outpost. Then, rafters hop on a short shuttle to the river put-in. After cruising through exciting rapids, a shuttle awaits to bring everyone back to the outpost, where they can view photos from their adventure, pick up souvenirs, and get local recommendations from the guides.
This experience includes free use of wetsuits, splash jackets, helmets, paddles, and personal flotation devices, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride. It excludes gratuities and appropriate footwear (no crocs or flip-flops allowed).
