Colorado is home to some of the most scenic and exhilarating whitewater rafting in the United States. Four Corners Rafting, one of the oldest and most respected companies on the Arkansas River, has been providing top-quality rafting trips since 1976. A whitewater rafting trip, combined with any of the area’s many outdoor activities, provide the basis for a fun and memorable vacation. On our rafting trips, you will meet other people who enjoy being outdoors under the Colorado sky, bask in the splendor of the Rocky Mountain scenery, lay your head back, and watch the clouds drift by as you enjoy a Colorado river rafting adventure. Don’t get too comfortable, though, because the upper Arkansas River also features many of Colorado’s finest class II-IV rapids. Moderate stretches, perfectly suited to novices and families are available, as well as adventure-class whitewater river rafting runs for the more advanced or adventurous rafters.
