Hold onto that paddle and get ready to get wet! This exciting stretch of the river is Clear Creek’s most popular rafting trip and a top choice for guests ages 14 and up. Just minutes from Idaho Springs and a short drive from Denver, this trip delivers nonstop action through a scenic granite canyon.
This adventure covers 8-9 miles of continuous Class III–IV whitewater with approximately 12 rapids total including five key intermediate rapids. With minimal flat water, the excitement stays high from start to finish.
