Join us for a fun filled adventure singles weekend of whitewater rafting, horseback riding and riding the rails in Colorado. This singles trip is for everyone, the first time whitewater rafter to the experienced. What a great way to spend July 4th weekend then in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Our singles weekend begins at 9am downtown Denver for our private chartered bus ride to Canon City.
At 12:30 we hop onboard the Royal Goarge Route Railroad for a train ride through the Royal Gorge which has been called "the most arresting scenic site in all of American railroading". The train takes us on a 24-mile journey through the 1,000 foot deep Royal Gorge, alongside the raging Arkansas River, where we'll have the opportunity to observe Bald Eagles, Blue Heron, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, Mule Deer, and flora, native to the gorge. A gourmet lunch is served onboard.
Friday: July 4 - Full Day Whitewater Rafting - Bighorn Sheep Canyon

Be sure you bring along a waterproof camera to take advantage of the many photo ops that will present themselves on this singles trip. Home of Colorado's largest herd of Bighorn Sheep. A stop along the way for a delicious riverside lunch, then we will run several class II & III rapids in the afternoon.
Saturday: July 5 - Morning Whitewater Rafting - Royal Gorge

White Water Raftaing FAQ
Do I need any Rafting Experience?
Prior rafting experience is not required. The majority of people who join our expeditions are first time rafters. You'll receive a detailed safety talk before getting on the river, and it will cover every aspect of your river adventure. Once trained, an oar or paddle crew can work in harmony with their guide to maneuver a raft in the most challenging rapids. It's only natural for you to be apprehensive about running rivers, however our staff is specially trained to address your concerns and prepare you for an experience you'll never forget.
You will be the most comfortable in things that dry quickly. If the weather is warm, and that is most typical, dress to get wet. Swimsuits, shorts and T-shirts are fine. Appropriate footwear is a must. Old pair of tennis shoes or the Teva-type sport sandals (the guides choice of footwear) is best. Wool socks or no socks. If it is expected to be a cool day, rule number one is COTTON IS WRONG! A wool sweater or fleece jacket is good to have along on any raft trip. Thet offer a complete line of clean wetsuits, spray jackets and river boots in our office for a nominal rental fee. Again, expect to get wet!
Do Trips Run If It's Raining?
All trips run rain or shine. Only rarely do we cancel due to high water. In the unlikely event that we cancel a trip, a full refund will be offered. Any person choosing not to participate because of weather will not be eligible for a refund or rain check.
Do I Have To Know How To Swim?
No! Every person on the trip will be issued a type V Personal Flotation Device better known as a life jacket. These devices are designed to float your head above the surface of the water even if you do not know how to swim.
