This might be the best half-day run of all on one of America’s most popular rafting rivers. The class IV whitewater is practically non-stop for nine miles, the views of the towering, 14,000-foot high Sawatch Mountains are stunning, and the eight numbered rapids (considered by old-time miners to be non-navigable) are all unique and tons of fun.
Ask locals what their favorite trips are, and you’ll hear Numbers brought up a lot. It’s a special experience. If you’re 15 or older, in decent shape, and prepared to get wet and paddle hard, you can step up and make this epic run your first rafting trip.
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.
Numbers on the Arkansas River
We provide splash gear on all of our trips, and wetsuits and helmets when appropriate.
Numbers Trip Reviews
- Our Guide Bobby Brown was totally awesome. There were three of us in the raft Plus, Bobby, and we had an amazing time. The water was great, and Bobby guided us through Numbers like a true raftsman. It was so much fun, it was thrilling, a little challenging and a great workout. Can’t wait to do it again.read moreread less

Annika Baumgartner8/05/2025Looking forward to next July! We have partnered with AWR on the Arkansas River 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
Ashlee Kratovhil7/22/2025 - They were extremely knowledgeable We had a group of 10 including a couple of adults and 8 teenagers ranging from 17-19. Only a few of us had ever been before. We were encouraged to do the “Numbers” course on the Arkansas river. It was a beautiful hour drive and The Company takes you in a van. We have great instructors that taught us everything and we felt safe at all times. They were extremely knowledgeable and made the trip and enjoyable for all of us. Our guides were named Eike right and Bobby. We had a blast and highly recommend!read moreread less
