MAD Adventures

At MAD Adventures, we’re MAD about giving our customers the best whitewater rafting trips in Colorado. Based in Winter Park, Colorado we have something for just about everyone, from the wickedly awesome class III and IV rapids on Clear Creek near Idaho Springs, just west of Denver, to the family-friendly Upper Colorado River outside of Kremmling.

Upper Colorado White Water Rafting

Located near the headwaters of the Colorado River and the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park, the Upper Colorado rafting trips are perfect for those who want beautiful Canyon scenery and easy-to-navigate whitewater. You’ll see spectacular wildflowers, sheer granite canyon walls, and forest of blue spruce and Douglas fir trees. First-time boaters and families with children give trips on this river rave reviews.

All or part of this operation is conducted on Public Lands under special permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. View a sneak peek of the Upper Colorado River!

Clear Creek, which drops from the mountains just west of Denver, provides a fun and challenging whitewater rafting experience. The river traverses past ponderosa pine, juniper, and Douglas fir tree forests before tumbling through the old mining town of Idaho Springs.

This Clear Creek Colorado whitewater rafting trip will take you past wildlife such as river otters, bighorn sheep, and the occasional bear. Our Clear Creek rafting office is just 30 minutes from Denver, 45 minutes from Winter Park, and 1-1/4 hours from Boulder with easy access from all of Grand County, Summit County and Vail.
