Review:
American Adventure Expeditions gives participants a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience whitewater rafting on the world-famous Royal Gorge, offering half-day and full-day trips based out of Cañon City. The company, which offers the only rafting outpost on the Arkansas River, gives passengers the unique opportunity to raft under the United States' tallest suspension bridge, the Royal Gorge Bridge, which reaches heights of over 1,100 feet. All participants can experience crashing waves and impressive drops while viewing world-class scenery within the gorge. For less intense experiences, visitors can embark on half-day and full-day excursions to Bighorn Sheep Canyon, with wildlife views of the canyon's namesake sheep and other native Colorado species. Gourmet barbecue riverside lunches are offered on all excursions, complete with seasonal Colorado fresh fruit and locally-produced burgers.
