Colorado Raft-N-Rail Adventure

Enjoy Rafting On The Arkansas River Followed By A 12 Mile Scenic Train Ride On the Royal Gorge Route

Price for 1 participant

This exciting raft-n-rail experience is a family-friendly combination that is sure to be an annual tradition! Your experience begins with check-in at the rafting center. You will be able to leave a duffle bag or back pack with a change of dry clothes, waiting for your return from the rafting portion of the trip.

Next, you will be transported upstream fourteen miles to a location known as Salt Lick where the river trip portion of your day begins. The Bighorn Sheep Canyon offers nine miles of exciting and splashy white water through a number of Cass II and III rapids. While navigating the rapids you may see Bighorn Sheep, Golden Eagles and other wildlife along the rugged canyon slopes. Once your rafting adventure concludes, your change of clothes will be waiting for you and you will be escorted to the train upon its arrival.

Finally, the Rail portion of your experience begins. This scenic Royal Gorge Route has been in existence since the 1880’s and was billed as the “Scenic Line of the World” by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Vehicles will be waiting for you at the end of the 12 mile journey and you will be chauffeured back to your vehicle. This Colorado Rafting experience is a family favorite!
