Clear Creek Rafting Co

The Employee Experience

Here is what some of our employees have to say about us:

“As a professional river guide looking into a new company I would want to ask three questions:

• Will I be challenged?
• Will I be paid well?
• Will I be respected?

The answers for Clear Creek Rafting Company are Yes, Yes, and Yes! The unique part about working for the creek is becoming part of a family that will give back all that you give them.”
— Scott Hace, river guide 6 years

“Clear Creek has some of the most technical and demanding rapids commercially rafted. The creek is steep, with continuous gradient and channelized to drops – similar the B’hote Khosi in Nepal. For the experienced guide, Clear Creek offers the opportunity to hone solid guiding skills and to be challenged on every trip. The creek will make you good…. there is not a lot of margin for error. If you make mistakes you will be spanked. Despite that Clear Creek runs along the highway corridor there are still many beautiful and isolated sections. The fact that the creek is accessible has allowed rafting difficult whitewater with commercial clients to flourish. It also means a minimal amount of time spent riding in buses. A thriving client base from the Denver Metro area, as well as heavy tourist traffic, ensures the ability to stay busy and make good money.
 

Clear Creek Rafting Co. is renowned for having some of the best guides in Colorado. In addition to having a dominating presence on Clear Creek, the company holds permits for most of the classic rivers in the state with opportunities to run all sections of the Arkansas River including the Royal Gorge and Pine Creek/Numbers, as well as Gore Canyon of the Colorado River.” — Matt Terry, river guide 9 years
