Clear Creek Rafting
The Clear Creek River is on the cutting edge of Colorado rafting . . . and Highside Adventure Tours is one of the few companies that has the experienced personnel and special equipment to safely guide Clear Creek river white water rafting trips.
Starting high in the Rockies, the Clear Creek River comes roaring out of the winter snows to thrill beginners and experts alike. When the water levels rise in spring and summer, it creates a huge variety of incredible whitewater — and the action is non-stop.
We have Clear Creek River White Water rafting trips to suit any taste. Our beginner trip is fun and affordable for everyone, including families and large groups with members of varying abilities.
All Clear Creek trips meet at our Idaho Springs Basecamp.
Our Clear Creek river rafting trips also include a variety of intermediate trips and Class V advanced Clear Creek river whitewater rafting adventures for advanced and expert rafters. Our full or half-day trips are perfect for the experienced whitewater enthusiast and offer nonstop paddling through aggressive, fast moving whitewater that gets the adrenaline pumping for even the most experienced paddlers. Our Clear Creek River white water rafting trips offer Class 4-5 whitewater that is fast and wild; and our famous BBQ lunch adds to the perfect river rafting day.
But the thrill and enjoyment of running any section of Clear Creek can hardly be overstated. Clear Creek flows through a rugged valley and through many small historic mining areas of Colorado, including the former gold mining boomtown of Idaho Springs, which is our base of operations for our Clear Creek river rafting adventures. Conveniently located, it is easily accessible from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and the rest of the Front Range Metro Area, and is only 45 minutes from Denver.
We have the perfect Clear Creek river whitewater rafting adventure for every interest, group or family, and every experience and ability level.
