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 guide Clear Creek river white water rafting trips.

Starting high in the Rockies, the Clear Creek River comes roaring out of the mountains 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 big groups with members of various abilities.

All Clear Creek trips meet at our Idaho Springs Basecamp.

Our Clear Creek river rafting trips also include intermediate trips and Class V whitewater rafting adventures for advanced and expert rafters. Our full- and half-day trips are perfect for the experienced whitewater enthusiast and offer nonstop paddling through aggressive, fast-moving whitewater. Clear Creek 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; our famous BBQ lunch adds to a perfect day of river rafting.
