Overview

This is a special trip with only 1 launch per day and we are the only outfitter offering it as a 1/2 day trip! You will start at 8200 ft in the Rocky Mountains, putting on in the natural surroundings of the free flowing snowmelt on Clear Creek in the mining town of Lawson. After warming up in the first mile, you will find yourself in the steep and narrow rapids of Meat and Bones followed by Lumpy's, each is close to a ½ mile long class IV+.

Follow that up with our most popular stretch of river, Upper Clear Creek Canyon, filled with continuous class III and IV rapids that include Nomad, Phoenix (named after the Phoenix Gold Mine), and your final rapid, Outer Limits, which is sure to get your attention as you return to Idaho Springs. This is a great way to start your day rafting near Denver!

Activity itinerary

Lawson (Pass by)

Your adventure begins in the historic mining town of Lawson, sitting at approximately 8,200 ft in the Rocky Mountains. Here, you launch directly into a natural, snowmelt‑fed section of Clear Creek, surrounded by rugged alpine terrain. This high‑elevation starting point sets the tone for an exhilarating run through fast, technical whitewater.

Idaho Springs (Pass by)

Your trip concludes in the storied mountain town of Idaho Springs, a historic hub of Colorado’s gold‑rush era. After navigating the final rapids, you float into calmer waters and return to town—energised, soaked, and smiling after completing one of the most challenging half‑day rafting trips near Denver.
