Royal Gorge Trips

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.

Royal Gorge Two- and Three-Day Trips

For adults who want to do a two- or three-day rafting trip, the Royal Gorge is a great choice for the second day of rafting. If you choose the Royal Gorge for your second day of rafting, we will raft 18 miles and include all the rapids in the Royal Gorge plus the best rapids in Bighorn Sheep Canyon. We raft the last 9-miles of Bighorn Sheep Canyon, stop for a great lunch, and then do all the rapids in the Royal Gorge.

We give you the most rapids possible in our two- and three-day trips. On our two-day trip, we raft Brown's Canyon on the first day and the Royal Gorge on the second day. On our three-day trip, we raft Brown's Canyon on the first day, the Royal Gorge on the second day, and both the Numbers and the Narrows on the third day.

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

We require a minimum of six people to do a two- or three-day trip. If you have fewer than six people in your party, we can often add you to another group. Please call us at 1-800-888-8582 to check availability.
