Now booking for the 2021 season starting in May!
Combine the non-stop action of a white water trip through thrilling Gauntlet with an exhilarating experience through the trees on a fun-filled Colorado zip line tour. Enjoy the best advanced whitewater and the thrill of ziplining into two action-packed days! Pine Creek is the steepest, most technical, and most continuous section of whitewater on the entire Arkansas River. Start your adventure on day 1 getting warmed up in the beautiful Granite Gorge before the river narrows to half its width and drops 200 feet in the course of a single rapid. You barely have time to catch your breath before starting on the notorious Numbers. We’ll break for a hot chicken fajita lunch.
After the rafting trip, head to the AVA Cabins for a delicious dinner and night under the stars. Start off day 2 with a nice breakfast before a wild mountaintop zipline tour! Our zipline course is integrated into the wooded and craggy surroundings of our mountainous 43-acre Gold Camp property. Take in the views of snow-capped peaks and the Arkansas River as you zip from cliff to cliff between the pine and aspen trees.

The Gauntlet + 2 Day Cabin Package is one for the books, don’t start it off on the wrong foot with having to run around for last minute items. Our goal is to be clear about everything that is included on your adventure and suggest exactly what to bring as well. Don’t worry about splash jackets or wetsuits, as AVA Rafting & Zipline provides them for all our whitewater trips free of charge.
