AVA Rafting & Zipline: A Member of The Outlaw Group

We started  in 1998 as a small whitewater rafting company in the Arkansas River Valley, just focused on advanced whitewater in central Colorado. Since then we’ve grown, not only as an outdoor recreation brand, but into so many other aspects of Colorado tourism.

The Outlaw Group strives to find solutions in Colorado tourism

Recreation

Whether we’re guiding rafts and soaring down ziplines in the summer or helping provide skis and snowboards in the winter, we believe that outdoor recreation is at the core of what makes Colorado an incredible destination.

Transportation

We know that between winding mountain roads and the major interstate of I70, getting around Colorado can be daunting, so we’ve been providing airport transportation and other solutions for over a decade.

Part of the community

Tourism is the lifeblood of many Colorado communities, and we know the only way forward is to ensure that we host visitors responsibly. We work closely with our communities to ensure a healthy future in tourism.

Olivia and Andy were fabulous, up beat and encouraging zip line guides. We loved their energy and the company’s atmosphere. One of our kids now wants to be a guide during college summers. We will definitely come back on our next trip. Keep your colors bright, Olivia!

I took my husband and our three children ages 17, 13, and 12 and we had the experience of a lifetime. Parker was our guide and he was knowledgeable and professional, and has the best personality for what he’s doing. We booked the Browns Canyon Sizzler and we could not have been happier with our choice. We embarked on our adventure around 9am and were back at the outpost mid afternoon. Halfway through our float we stopped and had delicious fajitas prepared right there by the river by the guides. I’m so glad I decided to go with this company, we were not disappointed one bit. We definitely have AVA in mind the next time we come to Colorado, maybe I’ll try some zip-lining next time. Thanks for the awesome adventure!
