Steep and narrow Clear Creek offers some of Colorado’s most exciting whitewater rafting trips. Only 25 miles west of Denver in Idaho Springs, Clear Creek is a short and scenic drive up I-70 from wherever you’re staying, or an easy stop on your way up to Colorado’s spectacular high country.

Beginner Classic, a great mountain trip for the whole family. This exciting one-third day trip is filled with non-stop action packed Class III whitewater as you raft through the historic Idaho Springs mining district.

Intermediate Canyon is Clear Creek’s most popular stretch of river!  Brace yourself for the continuous Class III and Class IV action. This is our choice for thrill-seekers and adventurous first time rafters.

Advanced Canyon is our most challenging trip, running the intense rapids of Lower Clear Creek Canyon, including Beaver Falls, Guide Ejector, Double Knife, and Hells Corner. Prior Class IV experience is suggested.
