What an AVA Adventure looks like
Destinations & Rivers
At all our outposts, AVA optimizes the outdoor adventure experience through courses and trips rooted in Colorado’s best natural features. Our whitewater rafting trips offer the chance to explore some of Colorado’s most natural waterways, with pristine scenery around every turn and behind every wave. Our zipline and Via Ferrata courses likewise allow visitors to experience the best of the Rocky Mountains. With features built directly into the cliffside rather than simply on raised platforms, your adventure truly takes place within Colorado’s most pristine outdoor spaces.
Accessible Adventure
No matter where your Colorado trip takes you, we have a convenient adventure for you. Our three outposts in Idaho Springs, Buena Vista, and Kremmling each offer a unique Colorado experience and are within easy driving distance of popular Colorado destinations, including Denver, Breckenridge, Vail, Winter Park, Aspen, and more. Our rafting trips also run on rivers throughout the state, allowing you to fit an exciting outdoor experience into your already-packed itinerary or plan the rest of your trip around your whitewater or other adventure!
Unbeatable Scenery
Behind every wave or every climb is a chance to explore Colorado’s most beautiful scenery. At all our outposts, you will encounter rivers and mountains that will take your breath away, with each outpost offering a unique perspective on the Colorado experience. Stay closer to Denver and explore the Rocky Mountains where the Colorado Gold Rush originated at our Idaho Springs outpost or venture further into the mountains at our Buena Vista location. Here, you’ll discover crystal blue water and the towering granite cliffs of the Arkansas River Valley, while our Kremmling outposts boasts some of the most rugged terrain in the state – the Colorado River carving through this unique landscape.

Testimonials
We drove from Aspen in order to get to the meeting site (which took about an hour), but this wouldn't deter me using AVA in the future. The drive was actually really scenic (it took us by Independence Pass), and trust me, it is worth it for the experience you get.
