Arkansas River: The Gauntlet (Pine Creek/Numbers Full Day)

Advanced + Class V. The most advanced section on the Arkansas River begins in the little mountain town of Granite, which quickly fades away as you enter the exciting Granite Gorge.
Advanced + Class V. The most advanced section on the Arkansas River begins in the little mountain town of Granite, which quickly fades away as you enter the exciting Granite Gorge. These Class III and IV rapids are merely a warm-up for what comes next. Get ready to paddle hard as you journey through the Rite of Passage, the gates of Pine Creek, where the river narrows by half. Here you'll encounter the most continuous rapids in the state. This is where the river becomes a creek and its gradient drops an astounding 200 feet with a must-make crux move. You barely have time to catch your breath before starting on The Numbers. Each Class III-V rapid is punctuated by continuous whitewater in between, including a steep ledge drop into No. 5. 

This run demands good physical condition and a minimum age of 15 years is required. 
Hot gourmet lunch included. 

Recommended Gear List: 
  • Footwear: Bring shoes that stay securely on your feet and can get wet. NO FLIP-FLOPS AND NO CROCS ALLOWED. 
  • Swimsuit to wear under wetsuit. 
  • Sunglasses and strap to secure glasses. 
  • Sunscreen and lip balm with sunscreen. 
  • Additional Layers: Lightweight, quick-drying clothing. 
  • Water Bottle 
  • Money for souvenirs or to tip your guide.

Our family went on the Pine Creek/Numbers advanced white water rafting trip. Our guide, John, was great. We had a super time! Even on the challenging rapids we felt that John and the other guides always had safety precautions in place. We'll be back again.

High Country Activities, Frisco, Colorado
I have worked with AVA for 12 years now, booking individuals, families, wedding parties and large groups. When I started my own concierge business, High Country Activities, there was only one choice of colorado white water rafting company for the Upper Colorado, Arkansas and Clear Creek and that was AVA. I have been on most of AVA's trips at one time and have always had a great experience. We have taken many friends, family and friends of family, even my son's whole Rugby team. My experiences on the river with AVA even prompted me to do a two week Grand Canyon trip, surviving the infamous Lava Falls with no mishaps. I cannot wait to try the zip line this year and with record snowfall this promises to be one of the best rafting seasons ever. So if you are going to be in Summit County this summer, do not miss one of the best adventures out there.
