Inflatable Kayak Adventure Colorado River: Half Day Guided Tour

Inflatable Kayak Adventure Colorado River: Half Day Guided Tour

Overview

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

You can paddle to a sandy shore to greet families of geese, to the edges of huge cliffs, or around smaller obstacles, wherever your curiosity takes you. Go double with a friend, or enjoy solitude in a single-person ducky.

Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow. If big, exciting water is what your group is looking for, then the high-water season is the best time to come. Mid-June to early July is traditionally the high-water season. When rivers run at their peak, it can make for a big ride. Pick a big line or choose to skirt it in your own ducky!

First time kayaking. Tanner was a great guide, funny and knowledgeable and I knew I was in good hands. Beautiful section of the river in the canyon. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks so much for calling out your guide and for mentioning how lovely the Upper Colorado River valley is in autumn. We love this time of year! Less crowded but still warm in the abundant sunshine! We hope you're a convert to kayaking, and we'll see you again soon!

Guide was very cool but also professional at the same time. Had a blast on the rapid sections. We chose the kayaks. Definitely plan on getting wet if you are on kayaks.

We had a wonderful guided trip from Pump-house to Radium on the upper Colorado river. Connor was the Trip Leader and Jake was our kayak guide. Both were great. There was an extended family on our trip that rode in the raft with Connor. All of the guides were good with their small children. We met Jake on Saturday when we stopped by to look around and he was very helpful telling us about trip options and what to expect. We were pleased to find out he was our guide today 8/22. The trip was relatively tame since the flow was only 932 cps but it was still a lot of fun and the scenery was great. This outfitter was very strong on safety and having fun. I’d highly recommend them for your next whitewater trip.

Wow, thanks for the big thumb's up! This is the best trip for families with members of all ages. Soon fall scenery will make it extra special!
