Why take this tour?

One of the preferred Class V training and competition runs of many World Class kayakers, it also makes for a World Class raft trip!

Extremely rocky, this steep and very technical series of drops requires pinpoint precision paddling. Be prepared to make radical maneuvers as you punch powerful hydraulics and make lateral raft moves to thread the needle in boulder-choked drops.

If you have time to look around you, the views of the 14,000 foot Collegiate Peaks are awe-inspiring. We will finish the day in the relatively moderate non-stop whitewater of the Narrows section. Previous experience is recommended.

This trip is one step tougher than our Royal Gorge Full Day. If you’re looking for extreme action close to Denver or Breckenridge, this is the trip for you! A Half Day Numbers trip is also available.
