There is no better way experience the Royal Gorge Region than from the river itself. When deciding how to choose a raft trip, Raft Masters suggests choosing a trip based on the level of difficulty, the ages of the participants (particularly children), your physical condition, length of trip and the type of raft (paddle or paddle assist) you prefer. It is also recommended to ask an outfitter how long they have been in business (with the current owners), the trips they run, as well as any additional costs you might expect such as rental fees for additional equipment like wetsuits and boots.

Whitewater rafting trips are available at Raft Masters from March through October. Water levels fluctuate throughout this period, so depending on what type of experience you’re looking for you should plan accordingly. Do you want the biggest waves and wettest rides? Then late May through June is best, when water levels are at their peak. In July water and air temperatures are rising and water levels are moderating, making for ideal rafting conditions. July is also the busiest month of the Colorado rafting season, and weekdays are generally less busy than weekends. August is warm and dry with lower water levels making for interesting rafting due to the technical challenge of the lower flows. Early and late season trips are relaxing-paced and uncrowded.
