\"\"<\/a>Start reving your class V engines: Cherry Creek<\/a> is almost up and running.\u00a0 It’s actually still TOO up and running for now–we are waiting for the water to come down so we can get out there, do some training and warming up, and be ready to take you on the toughest whitewater trip in the continental US!<\/p>\n

The magic number we’re waiting for is about 2,000 CFS.\u00a0 At this point our class V veteran guides plan<\/em> on being out there this weekend to limber up, and by August 1st, we\u00a0hope<\/em> to be\u00a0open for business.\u00a0 I’ll keep you updated as we get the latest numbers from Those Who Monitor The Flows–we just have to patient and wait it out.<\/p>\n

This trip is very, very\u00a0challenging and requires an appropriate level of fitness and desire for adventure–please call us with your questions!\u00a0 You can also check out our Cherry Creek FAQs<\/a> to get more info on what class V rafting <\/a>requires.<\/p>\n

(Above:\u00a0 Those are some of our senior guides on a Cherry Creek warm-up trip a few years back!\u00a0 If that’s not enough whitewater for you I don’t really know what to say!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
