Rocky Mountains, including the most fun adventure of all close to Denver: rafting
Colorado's great rivers!
Denver Rafting
Denver rafting? You bet! The foothills and Rocky Mountains

 Clear Creek - Close-In Denver Rafting Trips
The closest river trip to Denver that we offer is rafting on Clear
Creek. All Clear Creek rafting trips from Denver
meet at our office in the charming mountain town of Idaho Springs.
Idaho Springs is a fun and interesting old mining town. In fact,
our offices are located right in the Argo Mine building, which is on
the National Registry of historic buildings. We're simple and
easy to get to: just head west on I-70 from downtown Denver, take Idaho
Springs exit 241A, and there we are. You can't miss the big Argo
Mine sign visible from everywhere in town.
 Idaho Springs is itself worth a visit, with
its charming main street, shops, restaurants, lots of history, mine
tours, a mining museum (with the largest collection of mining memorabilia
in the state), 14,000 foot Mount Evans, wildlife viewings, and the
