Whitewater Rafting Browns Canyon, It’s Monumental!

Deep in central Colorado, there is a wild river with some of the best river rafting in the US. The Arkansas River and the area between Buena Vista and Salida feature beautiful river access, amazing rock formations, and protected wild habitat. It is the highlight of the Browns Canyon National Monument.

In 2015, Browns Canyon was designated a National Monument, providing a 21,586 acre protected area of beautiful backcountry forests and the wild Arkansas River. Rated for Class III and III+ rapids, your heart rate will jump. The fun and excitement will make a memory you will not soon forget. Speaking of rafting down these amazing waters, in between the rapids, you may see some bighorn sheep or elk. Don’t just look at the riverbank. High above the river, see if you can spot a golden eagle or peregrine falcon, gliding on the air currents hunting for fish or small critters.
