## Our Story
In January 2021, a semi-truck accident destroyed the Royal Gorge Rafting and Zipline Tours office at Fourth Street and U.S. 50. Rather than repair the damage, the team saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary. Construction on a brand new 4,000 square-foot building began in September 2022 at 302 Royal Gorge Blvd, and Whitewater Rooftop Social opened its doors in 2023. The vision was simple: build a modern rooftop where you can toast the view, eat a great sandwich, and celebrate wins big and small — a place that feels like Canon City: easygoing, outdoors-forward, and a little elevated.
