Clear Creek

Clear Creek White Water Rafting Trips, Geo Tours’ Closest Trips to Denver! Save yourself the Drive when you Book with Geo!

Clear Creek starts its steep descent of the Rocky Mountains at the nearby Continental Divide. With a gradient that averages some 67 feet per mile, a Clear Creek raft trip has more rapids in its relatively short length than many other rivers in Colorado. Located near Idaho Springs, Colorado, just a few minutes from Geo’s Morrison base, Clear Creek is the closest “true” whitewater rafting to Denver. Clear Creek offers bodacious FUN and you don’t have to commit an entire day. Geo offers Part-Day and Full-Day raft trips with a section to suit everyone from the Beginner to the Advanced rafter.

Take advantage of Geo’s experience and expertise and let us plan the perfect trip on Clear Creek for your whole group’s technical ability. Prices include any meals, rafting equipment, spray jackets, helmets, PFDs and, of course, guides. Geo Tours has wetsuits & boots available for rent. Geo Tours can customize your raft trip, call for more information. ALWAYS FREE TRANSPORTATION from Geo Tours’ base in Morrison to and from Clear Creek!
