Browns Canyon

Browns Canyon is one of our country’s newest National Monuments and includes stretches of designated Wilderness Areas. The combination of exciting whitewater, spectacular canyon scenery and great mountain views together create the ideal raft trip. Exciting enough for seasoned paddlers, but not too scary for first-timers, you will want to bring the whole family. There is a minimum age of six years old on this section.

If you need assistance booking your trip give our friendly Adventure Coordinators a call at 800.497.RAFT
