Colorado White Water Rafting on the Arkansas River -
Bighorn Sheep Canyon
 FULL DAY - BIGHORN SHEEP CANYON
This trip
launches beneath the dramatic Cotopaxi cliffs at our convenient riverside base.
We begin the trip in easy water to give us time to form a competent paddle crew
(or passengers in an oar boat.) Floating past spectacular geological formations
and views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range we run exciting Class II-III

lunch we plunge into more demanding and technical rapids: Prelude, 3 Rocks
Falls, Spikebuck and Shark's Tooth to name a few. This trip is suitable for
first timers or experienced rafters. Sightings of bighorn sheep are very common

"We recently took our family vacation in Colorado and I
just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the wonderful experience that our
family had while rafting with your company. Our guide was Allison and she
did a wonderful job and was especially nice to my 13 year old daughter who was
really impressed by her". D. Roth family, Milford NE
