Rafting in Canon City, Colorado

written by Teresa Nielsen

Need to cool down during the hot summer days? Want to have fun under the sun? Grab some friends and take the kids, we’re going whitewater rafting in Canon City, Colorado.

Located just one hour southwest of Colorado Springs, you will have a blast as ripping through whitewater rapids!

RealTravel author Coloradorafting describes the experience:

“The Arkansas River in Colorado is one of the world’s most popular whitewater rafting destinations. The Arkansas River offers over 110 miles of navigable whitewater for visitors to choose from, at varying degrees of difficulty. Choose from half-day trips, to multi-day overnight river-side camping trips. From class III beginner whitewater trips, to thrilling class V trips through the Royal Gorge! No Colorado vacation is complete without visiting this river!

After rafting, journey to Colorado Springs and visit The Garden of the Gods. These red sandstone formations will leave you mesmerized! Take a free 30 minute tour with a naturalist or even go through the park on horseback! In the mood to cycle? The park even allows mountain biking on designated trails!

Realtraveler Jenny B. shares with us:

“After lunch, we headed to the Garden of the Gods. Huge rock formations! We had fun playing around at the tourist picture spot. Take a look!” (more…)

This is something the whole family will treasure!
