Arkansas River - Wildhorse Canyon - Moderate to advanced, Class III+

A fantastic, secluded section of Adventure Class Whitewater that is pretty much non-stop action, especially at higher water levels. The rapids here tend to be more continuous with fewer eddies than in Brown's. Enjoy great views of the high peaks along with the challenges of Frog Rock Rapid, Little Seidel's, and House Rock with some sections as narrow as 12 feet! Great step up for those who have run Brown's Canyon a lot. Deluxe full day trip starts in Wildhorse and continues on through Brown's Canyon and includes a delicious riverside steak lunch. Just north of Buena Vista. Minimum age-12.

Arkansas River - Overnight Trips

2 and 3 day trips:

Nothing matches the experience of an overnight Arkansas River rafting and camping trip. There is nothing better for a family wanting to spend some quality time together than a multi-day rafting trip.

Two-Day Wildhorse Canyon/Browns Canyon: Our two-day rafting and camping trip combines both Wildhorse Canyon and Browns Canyon. We spend the first day in Wildhorse Canyon, camp in the mouth of Browns Canyon, and run Browns on the second day. At camp your guides will fix delicious riverside meals leaving you plenty of time to fish, hike, or just relax. Evenings are spent around the campfire singing songs and telling family stories as the river flows by. Meals include lunch and dinner the first day and breakfast and lunch on the second day.

Three-Day Options: Four Corners also offers a three-day trip if you want to spend another fun-filled day on the river and another great night in camp. Our three-day Arkansas River rafting trip is the same as our standard two-day trip but starts with a great section of water further down the river called Bighorn Sheep Canyon. The rapids in Bighorn Sheep Canyon are very similar to Browns Canyon and your campsite the first evening will be vehicle served. A three-day white water rafting trip is a fantastic family bonding experience.

For those wanting to kick the whitewater up a notch, we offer the option of running a Numbers half-day or a Royal Gorge full-day on day three. We will camp the second night in a vehicle-serviced campsite and then drive to either section. Meals include lunch and dinner on the first day, breakfast, lunch and dinner on the second and breakfast and lunch on day three. Minimum age-12 for standard three-day, 16 for Royal Gorge or Numbers.

Deluxe Two-Day Trip: A luxurious, all-inclusive two-day raft trip! All the comforts of home on the river. Spend a leisurely evening in a comfortable riverside camp. Sleep in deluxe two person tents. Not backpacking style tents, but full size family-style tents with room to stand up and plenty of room to stretch out. Meals prepared by your guides will be hearty and delicious. Small group size will ensure a level of service impossible on large trips. Experience the Four Corners Deluxe difference! Minimum age-12.
