RIVER RAFTING AND WHITEWATER SPORTS

The Arkansas River, with its wide variety, is one of the most popular rivers in the nation for white water rafting. Beginners can join one of the Class 1 float trips offered just 15 minutes from the Ranch, while experts can challenge themselves on the Class IV and V whitewater, including the electrifying trip down the Royal Gorge.

Annually, Salida hosts the FIBArk Whitewater Festival, when top whitewater sports stars from around the world descend on the mighty Arkansas.

Owners can also soak or swim in the natural crystal clear, mineral rich geothermal hot springs that feed local resorts and the Salida Aquatic Center, just a 30 minute drive from the Ranch.
