Rafting at Brown's Canyon

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. If you would like to be placed on the wait list in case of a cancellation, please email me with a contact phone number, and I will call you if something else opens up.

This exciting full-day trip near Buena Vista combines splendid whitewater with spectacular views of the Sawatch Range, containing some of Colorado's highest peaks. We'll raft through fun Class III & IV rapids such as Pinball, Zoom Flume, the Staircase and the infamous Seidel's Suckhole. This scenic canyon parallels the Brown's Canyon Wilderness Study Area. Halfway through the trip our guides will prepare and serve lunch on the banks of the Arkansas River. After that, wash it down with a generous serving of whitewater! This trip is ideal for the novice and expert alike.

Some of you requested that we do Royal Gorge this year, but due to the amount of snowpack in the mountains this year, they expect Royal Gorge to be closed for much of June for safety reasons. I was told by the rafting company that by going in June this year, we will experience faster water and better rapids than we did last year (when we went in July), so we'll still be in for a thrill ride at Brown's Canyon!

We'll meet at the Wadsworth & Hampden Park-N-Ride at 6:30 a.m. to carpool to Buena Vista. Further details and directions will be emailed to you after registration.

Due to it being peak season, we are limited to four rafts this year (24 people). We will not be able to add any rafts at the last minute like before, so sign up early! A "YES" RSVP does not count until paid for!! The male/female ratio will not be monitored for this event.

Cost is $75 through 4/30, then $80.
