Had an absolute blast! Great stretch of river with lots of exciting rapids. Close to Denver. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful in creating an unforgettable experience! Our guide Mattie was a real pro who was able to deal with our group of inexperienced paddlers for a safe and fun ride. I highly recommend! Grant A
My wife and I went rafting today and we highly recommend it! The intermediate level is perfect for first time adults. Such an incredible experience and our guide Colin is the best. Can’t wait to come back when we have friends in town from out-of-state to show them how amazing Colorado is with Colorado Adventure Center. And we’ll be asking for Colin again! Jeff R
Great summer attraction close to Denver! Our guide Coleman made sure we knew what to do through each of the rapids and kept us from getting too hot on a warm Spring day. The new Sky Trek course looks like tons of fun and I'll definitely be back to try that out as well! Sarah C
