Looking for that true “Colorado Rocky Mountain high”? The Numbers section of the Arkansas River got its name in the late 1800s by local miners who viewed the rapids as non-navigable landmarks. They were so intimidated that they just numbered the rapids instead of naming them. If you are an experienced rafter looking to take it to the next level or an adventurous beginner up for a new challenge, the Numbers rafting trips are some of the best Arkansas River white water rafting trips around!

AVA safely transported us to and from the river and gave me and my teens a float trip through Browns Canyon. But that was about it. The guides lacked charisma and enthusiasm. There was no friendly banter, no high-fives with the paddles, no energy. At one point on the river, guides Whitten and Steven were arguing with each other about who was at fault for bumping into each other's raft. Meanwhile, Lakota Guides are living it up with the riders by leading splashing, making calls to the other boats, cheering after passing through a Cat 3 rapids, and giving paddle high-fives. And I'm sure they were able to do that without compromising safety. Also, I had ordered a Fajita lunch for 6 back at basecamp. However, the order was not communicated ahead and the chef did not purchase enough food. There were a number of people in the front office, but nobody seemed in charge. Micha refunded my lunch, but that was the extent he went for customer service.

We had a great experience with Randy while rafting the numbers. He is friendly and knowledgeable of the river and area, we would definitely raft with Randy again!
