Trip Details
The trip we offer on Wednesday is through Browns Canyon, America’s most popular whitewater rafting destination. This section is challenging to seasoned rafters, yet forgiving enough for first timers. This trip is considered family rafting and is geared for kids 7+ (water conditions may be higher in the early season). Most of the large rapids in Browns Canyon are followed by a calm pool of slow moving water allowing an opportunity to either catch a quick breath of fresh mountain air or take a picture of the unique granite rock formations set off against the clear blue Colorado sky.
