The Gauntlet (Pine Creek & The Numbers)
Full & 1/2 Day, Advanced+ Class IV & V
Pine Creek is the steepest, most technical, and most continuous section of whitewater on the entire Arkansas River! We launch in the sleepy mountain village of Granite, which quickly fades away upon entering Granite Gorge. A few miles of Class III & IV warm us up for the spectacular crux of the run, the Gates of Pine Creek, where the river narrows to half its width and drops 200 feet over the course of one rapid! The bottom portion of the rapid features a must-make move around a boat-flipping hole that demands precise paddling and expertise maneuvering! This rapid is followed immediately by the pulsing, complex Class V rapid called Triple Drop! On the full day, continue downstream through the Numbers, making this one of the greatest days of whitewater found anywhere! The full day also includes our delicious, hot fajita lunch. This run demands good physical condition and a minimum age of 15 years*.

Gore Canyon
Full Day, Advanced+ Class IV & V
Gore Canyon is the hardest commercially rafted section of whitewater in the state of Colorado, and one of the toughest in the world. Five pounding Class V rapids – including Tunnel Falls, a slamming vertical waterfall with a complex Class V lead-in – beckon only the most serious, the most physically fit, and the most adventurous paddlers. Winding through a steep, remote wilderness canyon, Gore challenges even the most experienced rafters. Excellent physical condition and a minimum of 15* are required. Availability is limited, depending on water flows Season generally runs July-September. Call for details. Lunch included.
