If you’re looking for the best half-day whitewater rafting trip in Aspen/Snowmass, you will not have to look very far. Starting just five minutes from downtown Aspen, Slaughterhouse delivers the signature Aspen Whitewater run, and thrill seekers must do this experience.
Featuring non-stop action and iconic class IV rapids, you will paddle through Entrance Exam, drop Slaughterhouse Falls (a hair-raising six-foot water fall), and conquer Hell’s Half Mile, this trip guarantees to satisfy adrenaline junkies and give them just what they’re looking for.
Slaughterhouse calls for good physical fitness; while we recommend rafting experience, we do not require it. First-timers or 15 and up with an adventurous attitude and the ability to paddle hard will love this run just as much as seasoned river rats. (Must know how to swim)

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.
We provide splash gear on all of our trips, and wetsuits and helmets when appropriate.
