What To Expect
Spend a full day rafting one of Colorado’s most scenic and beloved river stretches on this unforgettable adventure through Browns Canyon National Monument on the Arkansas River. This trip features a mix of splashy Class II–III rapids, calm sections, and beautiful river scenery framed by granite rocks and alpine peaks. With more time on the water than a half day trip, you’ll enjoy a deeper connection to the canyon, additional rapids, and plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife such as bighorn sheep and soaring eagles. Midday, relax and refuel with a delicious riverside lunch, prepared fresh and served along the riverbank. Led by professional, certified guides who prioritize safety, instruction, and fun, this full day experience is ideal for families, first time rafters, and adventure seekers looking for a classic Colorado rafting day.
