This half-day class III section offers a classic, action-packed Colorado whitewater rafting experience for intermediate rafters and families looking for an unforgettable activity to share together. This scenic stretch of the Arkansas River is defined by continuous, fun Class III whitewater rafting that offers plenty of excitement for all abilities.
Under the backdrop of the 14,000 ft. Collegiate Peak range you will paddle through rapids like The Miracle Mile, Beaver Falls, and House Rock. Float through the complicated boulder mazes and rock gardens that define the Fractions section.
Perfect for experienced rafters and first timers!
Any trip can be made private and customized for your group.
What’s Included
The raft trip, shuttle, splash gear, wetsuit, snacks and lunch (when specified). Photos are not included but can be purchased online immediately after the trip!
What to Wear Rafting
We suggest wearing quick drying clothing such as non-cotton shorts and t-shirt or bathing suit. Be sure to bring waterproof sunscreen (you will be rafting at 9,000 feet where the sun is intense!), sunglasses with a retaining device, and comfortable walking shoes. We will provide you with neoprene booties, so your shoes will not be going in the river. Bring a towel and a change of clothes for the ride home.
Our shuttles will act as your mobile locker room. Everything that is not going on the water will stay on the van! It will be manned at all times or locked throughout your voyage to ensure your stuff will be there upon your return.

Raluca Lupu9/18/2025Great local rafting company. Took great care of me and my family (three kids under 12) on the river. Maddy was an awesome guide and provided some great local Aspen scoop. Highly recommend.read moreread less
Chet Rao9/04/2025We have partnered with AWR for our annual nonprofit trip for the past four years, and it’s always a great experience! Many of the same guides return each year, which makes it even more fun as we’ve gotten to know them. The crew is knowledgeable and makes sure everyone has a great time, especially with their jokes. Looking forward to next July!read moreread less

We had the best time rafting class 2 rapids with John and Nick. John was hilarious and great with our group of kids (three 9 year olds and two 6 year olds). He kept them entertained and focused the entire time! If you have kids, ask for John from Indiana!read moreread less
