AVA Rafting

We’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again; you don’t need to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy whitewater rafting, zip lining, or even rock climbing because AVA Rafting has trips and packages for families, beginners and intermediates, as well as for all you thrill seekers out there.  If you are planning a week-long vacation or more, we highly recommend a multi-day package trip where you can combine several of their activities in one trip. Or, first timers and families could opt for a half- or full-day trip to see how you like it. The rafting guides are very qualified and you will enjoy their love for rafting and living in the Rockies.

The area of Buena Vista is well known due to its proximity to the headwaters of the Arkansas River, which starts just 40 minutes north in the old mining town of Leadville. In addition, the Buena Vista area is host to several local hot springs, which allows you to relax, while your kids swim under the protection of certified life guards. Surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks, the views are spectacular and the restaurants and outdoor activities are plenty. And finally, from Buena Vista, you are just a short river float away from the great Royal Gorge Park and Bridge. All in all, you can’t beat this fun-filled trip to the mountains and AVA Rafting’s unique website and guides are available to help you plan your trip.
