Canon City, Colorado white water rafting on the Arkansas River

 


White water rafting trips at the Royal Gorge Rafting Center

White water rafting the Royal Gorge from the River Runners Royal Gorge Rafting Center is an unforgettable Colorado rafting adventure. Experience an exhilarating ride down the class IV-V rapids of the famous Royal Gorge as the Arkansas River plunges 46 feet per mile towards Canon City. If you are a first-time rafter or if you are rafting with kids, consider Bighorn Sheep Canyon, a beautiful and more forgiving white water section of the Arkansas River. At extreme high flows parts of Bighorn Sheep Canyon start to take on a big water feel and provide an adrenaline packed ride not to be missed. At the River Runners Royal Gorge Rafting Center you will be outfitted with the latest gear and our experienced guides will teach you everything you need to know.
