Colorado River Whitewater Rafting: Half Day Trip in Vail booking from $97.90

Colorado River Whitewater Rafting: Half Day Trip

Overview

The Colorado River is our favorite family-friendly rafting trip. This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands and steep canyon walls with wildlife including bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep - always something to see. Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher spring water flows.

Beginning as snowmelt high in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Rockies give birth to the legendary Colorado River. Downstream of the Park, the river intensifies through the famed Class 5 “Gore Canyon”, but below, the river gentles where our Colorado River Rafting trips begin. An introduction to white water rafting for families with children and grandparents, any group looking for a scenic Colorado adventure will enjoy this raft trip.

We are proudly a smaller operation offering intimate Colorado adventures. Our raft guides are highly trained, experienced, and State certified.

My husband and I loved this half day trip. The weather in September is typically picture perfect and the river was lower and slower, which was fine by us. We got wet but not saturated. I'd recommend water shoes or water-ready sandals. No flipflops. Tanner, our guide, made the trip fantastic. He's a great guide. I appreciated his professionalism, stressing the safety concerns regarding rafting but doing so with humor and enthusiasm. Tanner was very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of rafting and the river. We loved his attitude, kindness and humor. We can't wait to repeat this trip in the Spring.

It will definitely be a wilder, wetter experience in spring and early summer, but just as beautiful, safe and fun! Thanks for the review.

Awesome rafting trip led by Tanner, an expert guide. Calmed fears of whitewater rafting and turned an anxious experience into a thoroughly enjoyable one!
