Mile Hi Rafting offers many Clear Creek whitewater river rafting packages. The Clear Creek River is the closest raftable river to downtown Denver, only requiring a 30-minute drive west. This steep, narrow and technical river winds through the historic mining valley of Idaho Springs and contains more rapids than most commercially rafted rivers in the state. This area also boasts beautiful mountain scenery, with an abundance of wildlife. If you watch carefully during your time on the river, you can see muskrat, beaver, deer, bighorn sheep, and even an occasional bear or mountain lion. Mile Hi Rafting offers whitewater river rafting trips for adventurous beginners and intermediate rafters with rapids generally Class II-III-IV, as well as advanced runs.
