We are proud to help support the Land Trust of the Upper Arkansas and their work protecting important lands in our Valley.

We participate in the Common Cents for Conservation program that collects a voluntary 1% contribution from our whitewater rafting sales. Funds collected from the program help support the Land Trust’s objectives of protecting important natural, agricultural, scenic, and historical lands in Chaffee, Fremont, Lake and neighboring Counties.

While Common Cents benefits residents of the Upper Arkansas Valley, it also provides visitors with an easy way to help ensure that the scenic landscapes they come to enjoy will stay the way they are.
