Salida’s premier local rafting company, Independent Whitewater operates on the Arkansas River and offers a large assortment of trips for all rafting skill levels and interests. For a relaxed beginner trip, guests are advised to book a Scenic Float, which will take them through gorgeous valleys at a slow pace without any strenuous activity. Guests seeking a bit of a more interactive experience should book the Browns Canyon route, ideal for beginners to intermediate rafters, which conquers class III rapids while travelling through spectacular scenery. There are, of course, higher skill level trips available, but it is recommended that only experienced rafters consider them.
