Departures at Cotopaxi location
4+ years old for Cottonwood & 7+ for Bighorn
This package is a full day of family-friendly fun! In partnership with the historic Royal Gorge Railroad, we are offering a combo trip of a scenic train ride through the Royal Gorge, along with a half-day or quarter-day river trip. Families with young children or seniors will love the scenic float down the Cottonwood Canyon. If you're looking for more thrill, the Bighorn Sheep Canyon is our most popular trip and perfect for you and your group!
On both trips, you'll enjoy a hearty riverside lunch and wildlife sightings. The train ride follows the Arkansas River as it carves through a 1,000-foot deep gorge and usually lasts 2-2.5 hours. The train ride will end back where it started, dropping you back off at your car.
We require children to be 4+ years old for Cottonwood Canyon rafting (gentle rapids) and 7+ for rafting the Bighorn Sheep Canyon (Class II-III rapids).
