Whitewater rafting with Mike - Mike was our river guide and he was very knowledgeable and kind! Had good pointers and I felt very safe with my 10year old and 16year old on board. I will be asking for him next visit if he’s still there. Shelby was another guide that was really helpful in the setup part of the trip, she even let us borrow some of the shoes left my other rafters. Which was really nice bc we didn’t have the proper foot protection and I didn’t want to have to buy shoes ide not use again. So we bought shirts and sweaters instead! All in all such a good ride and we will absolutely be back.

Spectacular experience! - Our guide Scooter, was the absolute best! He is very skilled and knowledgeable, took great care of each and every member in our team, and has a great personality and is funny! The river was high leading to a fun ride, and the entire staff, including the front desk, and Ania, were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Highlight of our Trip! - This experience was definitely my husband and I’s favorite part of our Colorado trip. The rafting was so much fun and our guide Sean was hilarious! It was obvious he enjoys what he does and wanted to make our time the best it could be. If you choose Clear Creek and have the option ask for Sean. He’ll make sure you have the time of your life!

Great family experience - It was a little cold because we went early in the morning. But it was a great experience and the guide Wes was a great guide and very informative of the area.
