AVA White Water Rafting Blogs

So if you don’t follow us on Facebook (and you really should…you’re missing out), you probably missed our giving campaign during the holidays.
For every new “like” our AVA Facebook page got, we donated $2 to Save the Colorado, a phenomenal organization based in Fort Collins, CO dedicated to protecting the Colorado River and its tributaries. From ranching interests to drinking water, recreation (like colorado whitewater rafting) and protecting and preserving ecosystems, Save the Colorado balanced a ton of interests.
In the end we donated $100! Talk about easy – no money out of your pocket. All you have to do is hit the “like” button or encourage your friends to “like” us and we donate the cash.
This kicks off a quarterly drive on our part to donate for every new like our AVA whitewater rafting and zipline page gets. So starting with this quarter (Jan 1- March 30) we will donate $1 for every additional person that likes our page. It’s so easy for you to help us give…
This quarter’s recipient will be the Colorado River Outfitters Association. This non-profit organization not only promotes the activity of rafting in Colorado but speaks for Colorado’s river outfitters to protect the river recreation industry in Colorado. During the gigantic battle for the “right to float” (THIS IS STILL GOING ON, by the way), CROA was front and center in the fight to keep private landowners from banning people on rivers that run through private property. They spent almost every cent of the organization’s money making sure recreation on our state’s rivers is protected. Thank you, CROA!
And seriously, if you don’t already like us on Facebook, do it now. We give away tons of cool stuff, like t-shirts, hats, water bottles and whitewater rafting and zipline trips!

You’ve come to know AVA’s exceptional experiences and world-class adventures on the river and the rock. But now you can experience another one of Colorado’s most exciting adventures with us too: zipline tours!
AVA is proud to have the only zipline tour in the Upper Arkansas Valley. Located on our 44-acre outpost between Buena Vista and Leadville, the course allows you to blast among the treetops with some of the most amazing views you can imagine.
You’ll come to our Granite Outpost for your zipline tour. To get to the first zip requires a hike of approximately 10 minutes. And then it’s all downhill! Travel over 3,000 feet through the pine and aspens of our mountain property. Look down upon the Arkansas River and surrounding peaks as you get one of the thrills of a lifetime!
Follow (or start) your zipline tour with one of our amazing Arkansas River rafting trips. The Colorado white water rafting trips on the Arkansas River are known as some of the very best in the world! We have fantastic rafting/zipline packages to save you money and help you cram the most adventure possible into a day!

We’ve just returned from a most productive week at the America Outdoors conference in Salt Lake City, where we met with fellow outfitters, heard a ton of informative speakers and ordered lots of awesome retail goods for our shops! We’re brimming with new ideas and can’t wait to put them into action! Who benefits? YOU!
Here are Duke, Deanna and Arlo from Sherri Griffith brainstorming how to be the best outfitters in the world…HA HA HA (evil laugh). Just kidding.
