Highlights
Clear Creek is one of the best whitewater rafting rivers in Colorado, and for great reasons. The canyon offers all levels of whitewater challenge, and easy access. The setting includes scenic flats, mining ruins, wildlife, and, of course, exciting whitewater flowing over rocks. Nearby is Idaho Springs, where the gold rush began. It is the first city founded in Colorado, in 1859. This quaint town is nestled in the foothills of some of Colorado’s best mountains and holds a unique place in the state’s history. As the place where the Colorado Gold Rush started, this little town holds a lot of secrets, including one of the best river rafting areas in the State! Conveniently located about 30 minutes west of Denver, and close to Breckenridge, Silverthorne, Dillon, and Winter Park, Clear Creek has rafting trip options for varying ability and experience levels.

About Idaho Springs
Idaho Springs is an old gold-mining town in the Colorado Rockies on Clear Creek, with a brick main street, mining history and hot springs.
Idaho Springs sits in the narrow valley of Clear Creek in the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies, at about 2,300 metres. Gold was found here in January 1859, the first important strike in Colorado, and the town grew into a mining centre whose brick storefronts still line Miner Street. Tunnels, mills and mine dumps are scattered through the hills, and a museum and old mine tours explain the story of the gold and silver rush.
