About this tour

Trade the city streets for rushing water on a Clear Creek intermediate whitewater rafting trip. Just west of Denver, this canyon pairs lively rapids with Colorado scenery and traces of its mining past.

Your three-hour outing takes you through a river corridor known for varied whitewater challenges. Along the way, look for scenic flats, mining ruins, and wildlife between the rapids. A professional, certified guide leads the trip, and safety and rafting equipment, including a wetsuit, are provided. Clear Creek’s convenient location also puts the historic town of Idaho Springs nearby, in the foothills where Colorado’s gold rush began.

Call Colorado Rafting Company at least one day before your adventure to confirm the meeting location. The listed meeting point is 291 CR 308 in Dumont; do not go to the company’s Silverthorne HQ offices. Travelers should have moderate physical fitness, and this trip is not recommended for people with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health. Book your Clear Creek whitewater rafting adventure for a spirited ride through a memorable stretch of Colorado.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 20 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Idaho Springs
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 36% in Idaho Springs means it ranks in the top 36% of tours in Idaho Springs by this score.
