If you’re looking for Colorado Springs rafting, you’ve come to the right place! Take your family down Bighorn Sheep Canyon, whose rapids are just exciting enough to keep youngsters’ attention.

As exciting as Colorado Springs rafting is, you don’t want to miss out on everything else this amazing city has to offer! Here’s what else you can do on your trip:
We know you want to get on the water early, so we offer luxury cabins mere feet from where you’re rafting trip will depart! If you want to get in a full day of white water rafting in Colorado Springs, staying in our cabins is perfect.
Our cabins are very well appointed, and you’ll look forward to the following:
The real difference between our cabins and a 5-star hotel is that when you look outside in the morning, you won’t see a big city. Instead you’ll see thick wild grass, scrubby trees, rolling hills, and a red-and-gold Colorado sunrise.
Our cabins are 1-2 bedrooms, and sleep 2-4 guests each.
Of course, we understand that not everyone wants to stay in a cabin on the river. If you’d rather stay in Colorado Springs, we’re happy to make a hotel recommendation for you and your family.
After a full day of adventure, you’ll want to unwind with a delicious meal and maybe a tall cold one. Our 8-Mile Bar and Grill has you covered. We offer tasty burgers and microbrews, all served by a friendly staff who’s just as excited about rafting as you are!
Or, if you want to drive back to the city for dinner, the city offers some amazing eateries.
You can find a list of even more restaurants in the city here.
