Kayak Gorgeous Upper Colorado River - half day

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!

My family of 4 had a wonderful tour with Tanner! He was informative, helpful and made our family outing super memorable! We will be back! It was wonderful to get out on the water and see all that CO offers!

This is a must do while in Colorado! I was a little nervous about doing it but I’m so glad I did. My husband and I had such a wonderful time and the views were spectacular! We can’t remember our guides’ names but we called the one Coach (he’s a football coach). The guides made me feel very comfortable and at ease, since it was my first time. From start to finish they were wonderful, definitely recommend booking with this company!

This stretch of the Colorado River is our favorite way to see wild, natural areas of Colorado that many never get to experience. We're glad you felt safe and had a wonderful time! Hope to see you again.

Great time rafting the Upper Colorado. Tanner, Jake and Dustin were excellent guides. We had a group of 14 family members and we all had a blast!

This is our favorite trip for groups with members of all ages and physical ability. Calm waters alternate with narrow canyons, giving lots of time to socialize and appreciate the gorgeous surroundings. Glad you enjoyed it so much!
