Whitewate Rafting

-

Below pics are times we rafted in Colorado. The pictures you see below are taken by the rafting company's zoom flume... they call this portion of the river in Browns Canyon (the most rafted river in the world) the toilet bowl. It's the craziest part of the river... prior to this and after this are very calm spots and very safe. Along the way are also places to stop and jump off rocks into deep parts of the water - it's awesome!

Area Rafting Located on Summit Blvd., in Frisco, our office is in the heart of Summit County - just minutes from Breckenridge, Vail, Dillon and Copper Mountain, with additional offices in Buena Vista and Kremmling. Cliff and I can tell you from many rafting experiences that Browns Canyon is by far the best, however... its a little over an hour drive from Breckenridge. If we choose to do that, theres a lot we can do around that to make the day well worth it!!!  We have land on a creek very near there that afterward we can go and fish, tube, etc. We have gone with a rafting company several times called American Adventure Expeditions - they are by far our favorite. Check out their website: http://www.americanadventure.com/ There is a GREAT mexican restaurant (Cantina) across the way when you finish - super good food and drinsk! Rafting in Brown's Canyon is guaranteed to be the highlight of your vacation, rafting on the Arkansas River’s whitewater through Brown’s Canyon is a one-of-a- kind Colorado adventure. Unforgettable is the best way to describe a trip through this remote canyon. While on this trip you will find yourself completely surrounded by some of the most remarkable scenery that Colorado has to offer. Throw in some thrilling Colorado rafting that will leave everyone grinning from ear to ear and you’ll end up with memories that will last a lifetime. Brown’s Canyon rafting is considered by many to be one of the best sections of whitewater in the world!
