Day One – Advanced Overnight Rafting on the Arkansas River

Includes lunch and dinner.

Arrive at the River Runners Riverside Rafting Resort at 8:30 am and check in with the front office. Be sure that everyone in your group has read and signed the waver and release form, then meet your guide and pack all of your personal camping gear into dry bags. A gear boater will take your gear to camp and get everthing set up while you are on the river.

Then travel a few miles north of Buena Vista to the put-in for The Numbers section of the Arkansas River. After a safety orientation and paddle talk, it will be time to experience some of Colorado’s most continuous class IV-V white water. Stop for a catered riverside lunch prepared by your guides, and then continue through The Narrows and into Browns Canyon until you reach your secluded riverside camp. You will have plenty of time to enjoy this remote camping destination. Fish, swim, hike or simply relax by the camp fire. Your guides will set up camp, cook, clean and share their knowledge of the surrounding area’s history, wildlife and geology. You can just relax and enjoy an evening with family and friends.

GREAT FUN!

This is a trip you can’t miss if you are in Colorado. Browns Cannon is beautiful, and River Runners is the only company that has a launch site right on the river, and a camp site as well if you want to setup a base there. We have rafted with them on multiple occasions. They are wonderful, we had so much fun.

First time rafter (but previously a kayaker/canoe-er) and had a BLAST. We were the first of 3 boats with guide Erika (she and her identical, and also dread-locked twin both work at River Runners). Erika was maybe 90 pounds but damn if she didn’t kick the river’s a**!

The Best! These guys are so awesome! The guides really take their time to show you how to paddle and throw in some history about the river. For the best white water experience go when the water is around 1000+ c.f.s. The river takes you through awesome rock features, and then you eddy out to jump off rocks into the water! Best time this summer. Period.
