| The Numbers and Narrows is a great section of whitewater just
north of Buena Vista. The Numbers and Narrows can be run
separately as half-day trips or combined to make a great one-day
trip. Numbers Half-Day Trip:
The Numbers starts off fast with some of the most demanding and
continuous whitewater in Colorado. This five-mile stretch of
whitewater is short, fast and furious! The Numbers is
extremely challenging and is only runnable within a limited range
of water levels. Rafters should be in good physical
condition and have previous rafting experience.

south of Buena Vista, Colorado). Our office is in Gunsmoke

Narrows Bonus
Half-Day Trip:
The
Narrows (a.k.a. Wild Horse Canyon) has great rapids and
beautiful scenery. This nine-mile trip is not as fast and
furious as the Numbers so it gives you a chance to relax more
between the big rapids. It is great for people who have rafted
Brown's Canyon and who want to raft a different, but comparable,
section of water. We include two extra miles of great
whitewater in our half-day trip and take out at our office in
Johnson Village. Most companies either take out in Buena Vista
and miss the last two miles of great rapids or take out at
Fisherman's Bridge, adding four miles of slower water to the end
of their trip.

Numbers/Narrows
One-Day Trip: This 14-mile trip starts off fast and furious with the Numbers, some of
the most demanding and continuous whitewater in Colorado.
After lunch, the pace slows as we enter the Narrows, a beautiful,
technical section of water with rapids similar in difficulty to
those found in Brown's Canyon. We do all the rapids in the
Narrows plus add two miles of great rapids to the end of your
trip.
