AVA Rafting & Zipline: A Member of The Outlaw Group

We started in 1998 as a small whitewater rafting company in the Arkansas River Valley, just focused on advanced whitewater in central Colorado. Since then we’ve grown, not only as an outdoor recreation brand, but into so many other aspects of Colorado tourism.

The Outlaw Group strives to find solutions in Colorado tourism

Recreation

Whether we’re guiding rafts and soaring down ziplines in the summer or helping provide skis and snowboards in the winter, we believe that outdoor recreation is at the core of what makes Colorado an incredible destination.

Transportation

We know that between winding mountain roads and the major interstate of I70, getting around Colorado can be daunting, so we’ve been providing airport transportation and other solutions for over a decade.

Part of the community

Tourism is the lifeblood of many Colorado communities, and we know the only way forward is to ensure that we host visitors responsibly. We work closely with our communities to ensure a healthy future in tourism.

I can go on and on about how GREAT this experience was.. I was supposed to go on a different rafting and zip lining experience somewhere else in Colorado but was unable to make it.. I was near by for vacation and I knew I had to go back to do it. I searched for “Denver Rafting” and found AVA with very good reviews and had to look into it! I originally wanted to do the “Gauntlet” as my first rafting experience but instead changed my mind and got the “mountain zip lining and 1/2 day numbers” experience. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left I had smiles, content in my heart and pictures to last a LIFETIME! Jess and Robert were such amazing guides for the zip lining trip and helped everyone especially me since it was my first time to get us in the mindset that no matter what we were safe! Even had the opportunity to race Robert on the fastest line and well experience always wins…throughout the whole experience they were very informative and just very fun to be around!! By far the Rafting was the best part.. Chris was just so helped for everyone on the raft the whole time, no matter if we had people fall out of the raft or even had to rescue a “swimmer” he was ALWAYS Calm, Cool and Collected! After having this experience, I will definitely tell everyone I know that they NEED to have this as well. With all the help throughout the whole process there will be no way that don’t have a GREAT time.
