This is the upper most raftable section of the Arkansas River and offers outstanding class IV-V whitewater rafting with breathtaking scenery. You will start your river adventure in the tiny town of Granite, Colorado and get warmed up with Class III/IV rapids in the spectacular Granite Gorge. Then comes the Class V Pine Creek section where the river narrows and the serious whitewater rafting begins!
We scout this section and walking around is an option for those not feeling comfortable with the difficult section of whitewater. After Pine Creek, you’ll enjoy the towering waves of Triple Drop, then the Go-Go Clusters, and James Bond Turn. After all of this, you still get to enjoy the entire Numbers section that is full of technical and continuous Class IV whitewater.
Intense paddling and the ability to listen and take instruction are required of all participants. Prior rafting experience is necessary for the Pine Creek section.
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.
We provide splash gear on all of our trips, and wetsuits and helmets when appropriate.

He was super personable, fun, gave clear instructions, and made us feel very safe on the river! All of Aspen Whitewater Rafting took great precautions to ensure social distancing from beginning to end. They coached when to wear masks, wear to sit on the busses, and kept the groups separate when getting ready for rafting. Would hands down do this again, but would come back for Class IV instead! It’s a beautiful summer in Aspen, so this is definitely the time to try out rafting! read less

Following our adventure, I reached out to them directly as I was having difficulty locating our photos from that special day. Jim was a lot of help on the phone and made the process a breeze. If you are in Aspen, don’t miss out on having some fun with Aspen Whitewater rafting. It is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss! read less

The Class 2 rapids were perfect for those in our group who were first timers, but it was still a blast even for those who are used to Class 3+ rapids. Colby was a great guide, he was helpful and conscious of all skill levels and told the best jokes as we were making our way down to the bottom. All of the staff were the perfect mix of professional and fun. So happy with our trip, we will definitely come back! Thank you to the AWR team for making this experience so fun and memorable! read less

We did the level 2 and he made it so exciting and fun for the girls. We had a few dips which was perfect for us. The float down the river is so relaxing and beautiful. I was anxious about a rafting trip but I would definitely do it again. And I would ask for Chris. Thanks for a great time! read less

Fractions on the Arkansas was fun a few years ago, but today we did the Browns Canyons full day trip with Coby. He was fantastic and the trip was a blast. Great Class III raft trip with 4 teenagers. Just enough rapids to keep it exciting throughout. Highly recommend. read less
