We’ll get your adrenaline flowing with a rappel into the Granite Gorge, where you’ll meet your raft for The Gauntlet – rafting Pine Creek & The Numbers. You’ll launch into the most advanced rafting offered on the Arkansas River in Colorado. The Gauntlet is full of Class III-V rapids and is the steepest and most continuous whitewater on the Arkansas River.
