Overview

The most extreme whitewater rafting trip in Buena Vista, Colorado! Paddle Pine Creek and the Numbers on this full day trip.

This trip is for experienced paddlers and adrenaline seekers. It is iconic Colorado class V advanced white water rafting! If you are limited on time check out our Pine Creek Half Day trip.

We start the trip in the Granite Gorge, a steep and narrow canyon with class III-IV rapids. Consider this the warm up! Next, you’ll pull over for a quick scout with your guide as you prepare yourself for what’s ahead…  full on Colorado Class V whitewater with Pine Creek Rapid and Triple Drop. These rapids create a continuous 1.5 mile class V rapid dropping 200 feet per mile over giant boulders and steep pour overs. It’s sure to get the blood pumping!

After maneuvering through Pine Creek Rapid and Triple Drop the trip continues with the infamous class IV section, The Numbers. These 6 extra miles of continuous whitewater will be a perfect follow up to your already awesome day. With plenty of views and wildlife to see, take a few moments to look around and appreciate all that the Colorado wilderness has to offer. When you reach the take-out, your guide will prepare you a well deserved and delicious lunch.
