The Royal Gorge is renowned for its spectacular scenery and the intensity of its rapids.

As the river cuts through sheer granite walls over 1,000 feet high, rafters plunge through huge waves and stupendous drops, making the rapids as breathtaking as the scenery.

The Gorge mixes easier, but exciting, whitewater, such as Primero and Segundo, with some of the most intense rapids on the Arkansas River, including the infamous Sunshine, Sledgehammer, the Narrows, Wall Slammer and Boat Eater.

Rafters should be at least 16 years old and in good physical condition.

We offer the Royal Gorge as the second day of a two-day trip where we raft Brown's Canyon on the first day and the Royal Gorge on the second day. We also offer the Royal Gorge as the second day of a three-day trip where we raft Brown's Canyon on the first day, the Royal Gorge on the second day, and the Numbers-Narrows on the third day.
