Performance Tours escorts adventuresome raft-rowers on thrilling rides through the scenic vistas of Colorado waterways. The class IV+ half-day or full-day Royal Gorge trip takes daredevils age 16+ on a blood-tingling raft-ride through one thundering rapid after another, in challenges such as the Sledgehammer and the Wall Slammer. Riders can marvel at the view from the bottom of a 1,100-foot-deep gorge or aim spitballs at the underside of the world's highest suspension bridge.
A class III+ trip through Bighorn Canyon offers a more moderate ride, appropriate for rafters 7 years of age and older. After pushing off, oar pullers navigate through a stretch of the foamy Arkansas River, which includes three rocks, five points, and the sassy section known as Spike Buck, while scanning the canyon for a rare peek at Bighorn-sheep choir practice. Brown's Canyon plays host to a class III+ ride on the Arkansas River, offering paddle pushers thrilling oar-obstacles, with names such as Pinball and Zoomflume, which conspire with the scenic mountains and deserts to take rafters' breaths away. This ride is good for 7-year-olds and up
Rafters should arrive ready to row 30 minutes before tour time at the corresponding Performance Tours office, each of which offers ample space for resting land vehicles. Shuttles transport paddlers from the office to the departure point and back. Performance Tours supplies all rafting equipment, including a wetsuit, booties, and a dry bag to protect release forms for photographed wildlife. Rowers should wear clothing that dries quickly and bring a change of clothes. All Performance Tours offices offer changing rooms for soaked souls and superhero alter egos.
