Highlights
- Charlie Taylor Water Wheel at Bridal Veil Falls - Originally a part of Tayler’s series of five stamp mills, the waterwheel was moved as a community project to its present location in 1948. Since then, it has served as an important visual landmark for Idaho Springs residents and for those traveling through the area. In 1988, volunteers donated an estimated 3,800 hours of labor to the rehabilitation/restoration of what is considered to be a valuable community resource.

A perfect and fun morning. - Kegan was an awesome guide. Very instructive and friendly. I never felt nervous. The views were awesome. The water was so cold but with the wetsuits did an amazing job. I highly recommend them.

Exhilarating White Water Rafting - Charity was our guide and she was amazing, funny, and most importantly kept us in the raft and safe. It was a great experience to do with my brother. 10 out of 10.

Wet n' wild white water rafting! - We rafted in a group of 4 plus one guide, Brandon, in mid-June. Lively and calm break-in to rafting prior to getting in to the water. Our group took the Intermediate-level course, which consisted of 8 class IV rapids. This is a smaller company along Clear Creek, but it affords a greater camaraderie and unique experience through a more isolated, independent excursion downstream. Super fun, great guides, awesome experience. Check them out!

I would follow Danny anywhere…. - We had a great experience rafting Clear Water Creek. The intermediate float was a thrill the whole time. Our guide, Danny, did a great job training us, instructing us on the river, and kept the stoke high! Whether you’ve rafter before or it is your first time, I would highly recommend this trip.
