On the exclusive Raft-n-Bridge™ trip, you will begin your day rafting the Arkansas River through Bighorn Sheep Canyon. After your half day rafting trip we will provide transportation back to our office. Grab a bite to eat at our 8 Mile Bar & Grill restaurant or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it on our lawn. You are then free to drive to the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park and enjoy a variety of family fun activities at your pace.

Your party will need to check in at the Echo Canyon office 45 minutes prior to your trip’s departure time. Arrive in clothing appropriate for rafting or use our changing facilities. You may use your car as a locker for all valuables and our office will keep your keys on our key board while you are on the trip. We will depart the office and travel upstream fourteen miles to a location known as Salt Lick, where the river trip portion of your day begins. Bighorn Sheep Canyon offers miles of exciting and splashy whitewater through a number of class II and III rapids. While navigating the rapids you may see Bighorn Sheep, Golden Eagles and a variety of other wildlife along the rugged canyon slopes.

After returning to our office, change out of your river attire and drive in your vehicle to the Royal Gorge Bridge and Park where you will enjoy at your own pace the many attractions available. Hours of operation for the Royal Gorge Bridge change throughout the summer, but typically you have until around dusk to explore the park. Due to maintenance, weather and other circumstances, certain rides and attractions may not be open to the public without prior notice.
