Overview

Royal Gorge whitewater rafting is the ultimate whitewater rafting adventure trip in Colorado. ART has over 50 years of experience and will guide through through huge waves, steep technical drops, and almost continuous whitewater rapids through a narrow gorge. The Royal Gorge may demand so much attention you don't even notice the world famous Royal Gorge Bridge 1053 feet above the river. This exhilarating trip is recommended for rafters or adventurers in good physical shape who are ready for aggressive paddling. Our Royal Gorge whitewater rafting trips are our most popular advanced trips! If you are seeking lots of excitement, this trip is for you and your group. Lunch will be served at a stop on the river.
