Rafting

Whitewater rafting is the ultimate Colorado experience and Aspen is home to mellow streams and Class IV rapids alike.  If you prefer a quiet canoe or stand up paddle, check out the North Star Nature Preserve and its winding meander through untouched Rocky Mountain splendor. If action packed adventures are more your speed then there are plenty of Class II, III and IV options along the Roaring Fork River, Colorado River and even day trips headed over the Pass to the Arkansas River. Aspen's local rafting companies have years of experiences and loads of good funning on board.
