Royal Gorge

The Royal Gorge of the Arkansas River is Colorado’s Premier Whitewater Rafting trip. Conveniently located near Canon City, Colorado. 1,000 foot walls will surround you as you descend into the heart of the Royal Gorge and navigate challenging and exciting class IV rapids like Sunshine Falls, Sledgehammer, and Wall Slammer just to name a few. This is an advanced section of whitewater, especially at higher flows. Always challenging and exciting! We love to bring people into the Royal Gorge and discuss the amazing geology, history, and wildlife of the area.

We are one of the highest rated companies on the Arkansas River, check out our phenomenal reviews on Trip Advisor, Yelp, and Facebook.

Do you want more time on the river? Full day trips are twice as long and include more rapids like Three Rock Falls and Sharkstooth, and spectacular views as you raft the lower Bighorn Sheep Canyon in the morning before heading into the Royal Gorge. Don’t worry, we’ve got your energy levels covered, full day trips include fresh lunch served along the river. Your guides will prepare your monumental sub sandwich, fresh fruit, chips and salsa, and desert while you relax beside the river. Special dietary considerations? No problem, just let us know when you book the trip and we’ll prepare something appropriate and delicious.
