White Water Rafting
Explore our rivers the most exciting way possible! White water rafting can be dangerous, so we suggest finding a rafting company with an experienced guide. Most white water rafting starts north of Rye Colorado and about an hours drive away. There are several rafting companies to choose from, so you can shop around. We have had experience with Arkansas River Tours and they were great!
Don’t Forget Your Helmet!
If you brought your bike and are looking for an adventure, don't forget your helmet! We have some beautiful scenery in the San Isabel National Forest, but the trails that take you through our mountains can be challenging. Watch out for steep inclines and sheer drops as you traverse our beautiful landscape.
