Colorado river rafting on the Arkansas River is best from Buena Vista, Colorado or Canon City, Colorado. River Runners offers whitewater rafting trips from their Riverside Rafting Resort in Buena Vista, Colorado. This Colorado river rafting location is unique, because it is located right on the Arkansas River. This saves you time on your Colorado vacation. Other rafting companies will outfit you in your neoprene rafting gear and shuttle you to the river in a van. This can be very uncomfortable. When you raft with River Runners you may relax at the resort and take off rafting right from there.
For adventure seekers try the Numbers or Pine Creek. For families with small children take a scenic family float trip. The most popular whitewater rafting trip in Colorado is Browns Canyon.
If you are rafting in Canon City near Colorado Springs try the Royal Gorge. This is the best Colorado river rafting trip in the state. Families will enjoy the class III rapids in Bighorn Sheep Canyon.

Extreme Colorado whitewater rafting the Numbers Arkansas River 2,400 6-24-2011
800-723-8987 A blue bird day in Buena Vista, Colorado. Just a few clouds to cool you off once in a while. The best place to be in Colorado is on the Arkansas River, rafting some incredible Colorado whitewater rafting the Numbers section of the Arkansas River at 2,400 CFS.
Today was a unique day in the rafting world, rafting on the Arkansas River. The rafting section we call the Numbers opened toady and allowed a few lucky rafters the opportunity raft this incredible stretch of Colorado whitewater. We call it the Numbers because there are too many rapids to name so we numbered them.
The Numbers is a class IV-V section of the Arkansas River located up stream from Buena Vista, Colorado. The Colorado State Parks regulates the whitewater rafting companies on the Arkansas River and all commercial whitewater rafting take part in this Colorado State Park called the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area.
If the water flows of the Arkansas River are above 2,400 CFS in the Numbers section. The Colorado State parks recommends that this section not be run.
Colorado State Parks website quote about rafting the Numbers:
The Numbers: It is recommended that the Numbers (Section 1C) not be run at flows over 2400 CFS at the Numbers/Below Granite guage as read at 7:00 am for full day or morning trips and at 12:00 noon for afternoon Numbers trips.
RIVER RUNNERS REQUIREMENTS CLASS IV - V RAPIDS
Numbers rafting trip in Buena Vista, Colorado on the Arkansas River
Arkansas River flows below 2,400 CFS
Requirements: 16 Years Old
Good physical condition
Rafting experience recommended
It is high water season on the Arkansas River. And the Arkansas River has not peaked yet. Today the water flows of the Arkansas River dropped today. This was due to some maintenance to a dam up stream. The Arkansas River dipped below 2,400 CFS. This allowed this hardy crew of whitewater enthusiasts to take an incredible adventure through some of Colorado's best whitewater rafting.
This crew rafting with River Runners: two boats in the morning, some on a two day overnight rafting trip, who will camp in Browns Canyon overnight and raft out tomorrow. In the afternoon 5 boats will challenge these class V rapids.
The Arkansas River was just below the cut off point to not allow Colorado River Outfitters to commercially run this section. These people go a treat!
The temperatures are hot and are supposed to rise over the next few days. What better way to cool off than go whitewater rafting. I do not think the Numbers will be open tomorrow. But you never know. Make a reservation show up and we will take you rafting on the best whitewater we can offer.
We were rafting the Royal Gorge today from our Royal Gorge Rafting Center in Canon City, Colorado. This is Colorado's best whitewater rafting trip. If the Royal Gorge is not available you will have a blast rafting upstream of the Royal Gorge in Bighorn Sheep Canyon.
Experts expect the upper Arkansas River to peak July 2, 2011 at 5,000 CFS. This is going to make Browns Canyon and Bighorn Sheep Canyon a wild ride. Book your rafting trip today so you do not miss the boat. Try to avoid Saturdays because all the Colorado locals come to Buena Vista and Canon City to raft the Arkansas River.
Enjoy these video clips of some of Colorado's best whitewater rafting. Be sure to call River Runners and book your Colorado whitewater rafting adventure.
River Runners whitewater rafting trips are fun not by accident. There are a lot of people working hard to make this happen. Colorado's whitewater rafting season is fun and short. The Colorado commercial whitewater rafting season only lasts about 100 days each summer. Colorado whitewater rafting is best from May to September. Colorado's high water rafting season is typically fleeting depending on the snow fall of the Rocky Mountains.
This year we go an abundance of snow. This snow is now melting and making incredible Colorado whitewater for all to enjoy.
So book your trip, show up at least 1 hour prior to your whitewater rafting trip departure time. Be nice to the rafting reservationists on the phone. Get a good nights sleep before your rafting trip. Show up happy with a good attitude. Do not psych yourself out. Whitewater rafting is fun. Don't let what you don't know scare you.
Let's go whitewater rafting in Colorado with River Runners.
Camping Buena Vista & Salida, Colorado
What’s the quintessential way to experience the heart of Colorado? Going camping, of course. Camping is the ultimate chance to get immersed in nature in one of the most beautiful areas in the state.
But camping means different things to different people. To some, it is primitive -- hiking for hours into the backcountry to claim a remote spot. To others, it is a necessary basecamp in the middle of a long hike or rafting trip. Many choose to pitch a tent in an organized campground. For some, we suspect it’s just the best excuse to toast marshmallows over the campfire. Then there are the “glampers,” who prefer the comforts of campers or RVs.
In the broad definition of camping, all these experiences are legit. And all can be found right here in beautiful Buena Vista and Salida, Colorado.

Colorado Rafting Trip - Arkansas River - GoPro
Whitewater rafting trip in June 2014 down the Arkansas River in Buena Vista, CO. First day of rafting was guided by KODI Rafting Company. Second day we were on our own in smaller boats. Recorded with a GoPro. Edited with iMovie. Music: Make Me A Boat by The Family Crest.
Arkansas Headwaters - In A Colorado Minute (Week 204)
--- ---
The Arkansas River actually begins its journey in Colorado, where its waters are derived from the Rocky Mountains snowpack. A good section around the early part, or headwaters, of the Arkansas River have been designated as a Colorado State Park called Arkansas Headwaters State Park.
Conveniently, because I purchased a year-pass for Lory State Park near Fort Collins, we're able to get in for free at all 42 Colorado State Parks. So on our drive back from a road trip during Week 200, we stopped at a section of the river that is one of the most popular river boating (whitewater rafting, etc.) areas in the United States - and great for trout fishing, as well. I really didn't expect it to be that beautiful. Nor did I plan on shooting a weekly video about this place, so I didn't even take the tripod out of the car - hence some shaky footage and a few still photos, with which I replaced the same images as video at the very last minute before uploading.
We were so taken by how gorgeous this area was that we spent most of the afternoon hiking around and then basking in the sun on the top of a small peak just looking around at the wonderful vista. A classic Happy Place.
We had parked the car at the Hecla camp grounds and, before we left, picked our two favorite spots with views of the river to pitch our tent as soon as it gets warm. I can't wait! And I'm pretty sure I'll show you a video of what this place looks like in the summer in a few months...
Also, I want to figure out which train line runs along the river here. I suspect it's the Royal Gorge Route - but it might just be regular Amtrak line - if it's even a track for people transportation. One of my top priorities this spring/summer is to get on one of the Rocky Mountains trains and share a video of that trip with you!
The lovely song in this video is the instrumental version of Chainsaw by Josh Woodward, who makes hundreds of his songs available through a Creative Commons license. How awesome is that?

Backpacking Brown's Canyon, Colorado | 2018 Shakedown Trip
Hey guys,
This video is a quick highlight video from a 2 night/ 3 day trip in Brown's Canyon near Buena Vista, Colorado. We did this trip in Mid-March to spend some time with my brother before his upcoming military deployment so I didn't document as much as I plan to with these videos going forward.
It was a great trip to shake down some new gear, including the Big Agnes AXL Insulated sleeping pad, a Trail Designs Kojin alcohol stove, and the Zpacks Altaplex that I picked up during the winter months this year. I'm sure I'll have videos on some of those items coming soon.
Music in this video is from Silent Partner, you can find them here:
Thanks for watching and subscribe if you enjoyed the video! I'll have alot more content coming soon for 2018!
