Browns Canyon Whitewater Rafting
BROWNS CANYON FULL DAY
Full-day trips through scenic Browns Canyon are one of the most popular river adventures. The Browns Canyon Full Day has it all - exciting white water, stunning views of Colorado's 14-thousand foot peaks, a delicious deli-style buffet lunch prepared riverside, and a feeling of getting away.
Browns Canyon of the Arkansas River is one of America's most popular whitewater rafting destinations, and with good reason. The character of this section is challenging to seasoned rafters, yet forgiving enough for first time rafters. Most of the large rapids in Browns Canyon are followed by a calm pool of slow moving water allowing an opportunity to either catch a quick breath of fresh mountain air or take a picture of the unique granite rock formations set off against the clear blue Colorado sky. With that kind of scenery, it is no wonder that Browns Canyon has been designate Wilderness Study Area by the Bureau of Land Management.
Browns Canyon of the Arkansas will demand your attention as you challenge rapids like Widow-Maker, Zoom Flume, Seidel's Suck-hole or the vertical Silver Bullet. In June, when the river is swollen with snowmelt, prepare for a wet and wild ride with towering waves and powerful currents. During late July and August, the river changes, requiring technical maneuvers around rocks and dropping through narrow chutes.
