About Arkansas River Tours
Arkansas River Tours has been whitewater rafting in Colorado since 1973. Colorado's Rocky Mountains are the birthplace of more major rivers than any other mountain range in the U.S. Colorado's Arkansas River, the most popular river in America, provides a variety of rafting experiences ranging from ½ day trips to multi-day trips, easy whitewater for family adventures to challenging extreme adventures in Class IV+ white water. Three unique canyons, Bighorn Canyon, Brown's Canyon and the Royal Gorge provide whitewater rafting trips for the timid beginner to the seasoned veteran. Our unique location on the Arkansas River between Canon City and Salida, two of Colorado's favorite destinations, provides quick access to exciting whitewater rafting.
