Extreme Rafting Adventure Vacation!
Experience a 2 day extreme rafting adventure on the class IV & V Royal Gorge and Numbers of the Arkansas River in Colorado. This extreme adventure trip includes:

  • Full Day Royal Gorge Trip (with lunch)
  • Lodging at the Woodland Motel in Salida
  • Full Day Numbers Trip (with lunch)

    Day 1 - Royal Gorge Full Day
    You'll begin your extreme rafting experience by warming up in the morning on Bighorn Sheep Canyon, where you'll enjoy Class III/III+ rapids such as Three Rocks, Spikebuck and Shark's tooth. After your riverside lunch, you will raft through the Royal Gorge, under the highest suspension bridge in the world, and through the 1000+ foot high walls of the Gorge, enjoying continuous class III to V rapids such as Sunshine Falls, Sledgehammer and Boateater.

    Then, enjoy a night at the comfortable Woodland Motel in Salida, where you are a short distance from both the river, and the restaurants, galleries and stores of historic downtown Salida. From the Woodland Motel you have an excellent view of the surrounding 14,000-foot high Peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the Arkansas River Valley.

    Day 2 - The Numbers Full Day
    Your trip starts out North of Buena Vista at over 8500 feet in elevation. Here the river is narrow and technical and runs cold and fast. There are six class IV & V rapids in The Numbers, numbered from 1 to 6. Between the named rapids are plenty of class III rapids to keep everyone busy. After a stop for lunch, you will continue through Wildhorse Canyon. This section of the Arkansas River provides continuous and exciting class III and III+ whitewater through rapids such as Frog Rock, House Rock, the Buena Vista Whitewater Park and several others.

    Minimum 4 people required. Minimum age 18. Due to the extreme nature of this trip, and the level of difficulty, it is not recommended for timid or inexperienced participants. Good physical condition is required and previous paddling experience is recommended.
