At Liquid Descent, one of the reasons we are in this business is to introduce young children and first-timers to Clear Creek whitewater rafting and get them hooked! Beginner boaters will enjoy the Colorado outdoors in summertime and feel true adventure on this splashy Class II/III rafting trip. The gradient of Clear Creek provides continuous rapids making it a step-up from a traditional beginner or float trip. During the trip, the crew will float by Idaho Springs’ historic Charles Taylor water wheel and spot possible wildlife along the way in between rapids such as “Mountain Lion”, “Dizzy Lizzy”, “Powerline”, and “Castle Falls”.
This trip is a perfect way for beginners to learn paddling techniques. By the end, the rafters will be pros at propelling themselves through the last rapid, “Mr. Twister”. At the takeout, they will be itching for an Intermediate trip in the future. Our hope is that guests will become lifelong appreciators of nature and its wilderness.

Bri was so fun. Beginner was just right for what I expected. Maybe if there weren’t any kids we would have had a little more fun like the other groups were but I enjoyed it.
My husband, son (7), and I had a fantastic time! The beginner’s trip was exciting and so much fun, and we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. Ben was a GREAT guide, and everyone at Liquid Descent was helpful and kind. I highly recommend this experience!!
Had an awesome time would 100% do this again. So much Fun
