Variety is the name of the game at Echo Canyon! Want a relaxing day spent floating on gorgeous, calm waters with the family? They’ve got it.

Echo Canyon’s goal is to make a day on the river accessible to most skill levels, while always focusing on safety. Hop on for a half-day, full-day, and multi-day, rafting trips that can range from a few miles to 50 miles. Yes, you read that right, 50 miles of river rafting.
There’s more, too. Echo Canyon has the most Colorado packages ever for those of you who just can’t be satisfied with one adventure a day. Think ziplining, train rides, crossing the Royal Gorge Bridge and biking down the Pikes Peak Highway. Pretty cool, right?
When your day is done, you and your rafting partners can re-fuel at the 8 Mile Bar & Grill. There’s craft beer and hot, delicious meals to help you replenish your strength after fighting the river. Or, if you’re not finished exploring the region just yet, you can even stay a night or two. Echo Canyon has some seriously excellent lodging, with options ranging from luxury cabins to high class glamping under the stars.
No matter how you choose to get your splash on, Echo Canyon will deliver exactly what you need. They’re the experts on blending safety, excitement and fun to create unforgettable memories.
