Trying to choose the perfect rafting trip for your family?  Whitewater rafting is one of the best summer activities in Colorado–especially for families. A whitewater rafting trip is great for helping your family unplug and reconnect. You'll step away from your daily stresses and enjoy  a scenic and adventurous trip through some of Colorado's most beautiful areas.  You'll get out of your comfort zone and into a whole way to experience “family time!” Beginner-Intermediate Family Rafting: Arkansas River rafting trips provide some of the best family rafting in the country.  The famous Brown's Canyon offers some of the best scenery and whitewater you can find in one trip. Brown's Canyon rafting trips go through a proposed federal wilderness area, so there are no roads as you paddle a multitude of Class III rapids. This level rafting is perfect for families, both beginner first-timers and those who have been rafting previously.  No one will ever be disappointed with a Brown's Canyon rafting trip.  With a minimum age of 7 years of age, Brown's Canyon provides a great outdoor adventure option for many families. Some of AVA's best family rafting trips are the full day Brown's Canyon trip with lunch, a 3/4 day Brown's Canyon trip, and a half day Brown's Canyon trip.
