White water rafting Colorado's Arkansas River is one of the most popular and fun vacation destinations for families and groups regardless of age or ability. Echo Canyon River Expeditions has been providing mild to exciting half-day to multi-day whitewater raft trips in Colorado since 1978.

Fun Family Rafting Vacations
Our most popular trip is a half day rafting the Arkansas River through Bighorn Sheep Canyon also known as the Parkdale run. This Colorado vacation is perfect for families and first time rafters. Consider this family friendly vacation idea: spend a half day rafting on the Arkansas River followed by a freshly prepared lunch then take a scenic train ride on the Royal Gorge railroad on our exclusive Raft and Rail trip. Perhaps a Royal Gorge river adventure will provide enough whitewater fun for all. Give us a call, bring the family and … enjoy our guided rafting tours!

Echo Canyon can customize a river rafting trip to accommodate you and your family or group - for beginners, intermediate rafters and extreme "bring on the rapids" thrill seekers - with half day, full day and multi day (and some evening) river rafting outings.

Colorado River Rafting Trips
Challenging rapids combine with great scenery on an assortment of exciting white water river rafting trips on the Arkansas River and the Colorado River. The Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge is home to some of the best continuous whitewater. The Numbers and Royal Gorge offer non-stop action while Bighorn Sheep Canyon, Brown's Canyon and the Colorado River offer excellent family rafting opportunities for those seeking an introductory Colorado rafting experience.
