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.

Absolutely loved the experience. So much fun. Even for active seniors. Our tour guide, Nathan, was the best. Such a beautiful ride down the Colorado River. Worth every penny.

This Upper Colorado trip is a great, scenic float at this time late in the year when river flows are low. Sit back, chat with friends, paddle a few rapids, and enjoy the magnificent canyons and wide open grasslands while the fall colors are exceptionally vivid. Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to see you again.
