Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge, Colorado
Whether peaceful floats or white water screamers-rafting trips are an exciting way to share time and experiences with family and friends. The United States is fortunate to have 2.9 million miles of rivers, and many of these are ideal destinations for rafting trips through dramatic landscapes. The Arkansas River tumbles through Colorado's Royal Gorge near Cañon City, where the 6-mile canyon reaches a maximum depth of 1,250 feet and measures only 50 feet across at its most narrow. Echo Canyon Rivers Expeditions offers several rafting trips for all adrenaline levels including bombing Boateater, Sledgehammer and other Class III to V rapids through the 1,000-foot-deep Royal Gorge. For a mellower family adventure, raft through Big Horn Sheep Canyon where you may spot the area’s namesake animal, or try the Gentle Family Float that’s perfect for children as young as 4.
