Paddle Class II–III rapids through Clear Creek Canyon on a 150-minute Idaho Springs rafting trip with mountain views and Gold Rush history.

About this tour

Paddle through Clear Creek Canyon on an Idaho Springs Clear Creek rafting trip, where splashy Class II–III rapids meet Colorado mountain scenery and Gold Rush history. This hands-on adventure offers a lively way to get outdoors and cool off without extreme intensity.

Your 150-minute outing includes time from meeting up to returning. Before launching, get a safety orientation and paddle instruction, then gear up with a neoprene wetsuit, helmet, Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device, and splash jacket. You’ll paddle in a custom self-bailing raft through the canyon, with mountain views along the way. Paddling is required, and the trip is suitable for all physical fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers, or those with poor cardiovascular health.

Meet near Exit 240 off Interstate 70 in Idaho Springs. Parking at the office is limited; a city-owned lot nearby costs $2 per day. Choose this Idaho Springs Clear Creek rafting trip for a refreshing taste of Colorado whitewater.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 25 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 8.2. Top 12% in Idaho Springs means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in Idaho Springs by this score.
