Colorado white water rafting trips do not have to take up your whole day! The beautiful and remote Granite Gorge on the Arkansas River begins in the little mountain town of Granite, Colorado. This white water rafting Class 3 trip is great for people on a schedule or who are just looking for a quick introduction to white water rafting. You’ll enjoy white water rafting class 3 river rapids, with names such as Wake up, Maytag, Car Crash, Hopscotch and more. This amazing Granite Gorge can be enjoyed by almost all ages and abilities! Minimum age 7 yrs/50 lbs. (AVA reserves the right to change age requirements depending on water levels and individual qualifications.)
— The Thompsons from Texas!, Alvarado, TXIt was great. We were a little nervous at first. Mostly that one of us would have an “Out of Boat Experience”. We were actually the lead boat and the rescue boat for our trip. Erica, our guide, was oustanding. Taught us all the good tips, how to stay dry, and kept us entertained. Reservations and getting set up was a snap. We were even a little late. Called and told them on the way and they held the trip for us. Lunch was the best fajitas we had ever eaten. Even our 17 year old son got plenty to eat. We are planning on going again this summer. Same trip and hopefully the same guide. We are hoping to bring more friends and family. See you in June. Best 8 hours money can buy….
