Half-Day Whitewater Rafting Upper Colorado River

Overview

This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands, and steep canyon walls and wildlife including ducks, geese, bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep -- always something fun to see.

The Colorado River is our favorite family-friendly rafting trip. Beginning as snowmelt high in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Colorado Rockies give birth to the legendary Colorado River. Downstream of the national park, the river character intensifies through the famed and Class 5 “Gore Canyon”, and then below the river gentles. This is where our Colorado River Rafting experiences begin, with an introduction to white water rafting for families, and groups looking to enjoy an iconic Colorado vacation.

So glad you had fun! The canyon is justifiably known as one of the most beautiful in the region, and it's so accessible from major tourist and metro areas. What a gift of nature it is. We hope to see you again soon!

Tanner with Colorado Rafting Company is a fantastic guide! We had an amazing time on the Upper Colorado River in July 2023. Tanner is professional & personable. He made us all feel very comfortable on the water (3 in a raft and 1 on a SUP). He has interesting facts and stories to share while going down the river. And he's passionate about being safe while having fun. 5/5 stars! It was one of the highlights of our time in CO!
