Clear Creek Rafting Colorado Trip
Clear Creek, which drops from the mountains just west of Denver, provides some of the most continuous white water in Colorado. The river traverses past Ponderosa pine, Juniper, and Douglas fir tree forests, old gold mine shafts, and through the historic mining town of Idaho Springs, which is where the Colorado Gold Rush began.
Between rapids, check out the hills alongside the river for bighorn sheep and other wildlife, like river otters and bears.
Our Clear Creek rafting office is just 30 minutes from Denver, 45 minutes from Winter Park, and 1-1/4 hours from Boulder with easy access from Winter Park, Fraser, Grand Lake, Breckenridge, Vail, Denver, and Estes Park.
