Paddleboard Scenic Upper Colorado River Half-day Trip

Paddleboard Scenic Upper Colorado River Half-day Trip

Overview

This section of the Upper Colorado river is a great place to safely learn the basics of SUPing as you challenge yourself on rapids or choose to skirt certain ones. Beginning as snowmelt high in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Rockies give birth to the legendary Colorado River. Downstream of the National Park, the river intensifies through the famed Class 5 “Gore Canyon”, but below, the river gentles where our Colorado River SUP trips begin.

Fire up with adrenaline on river rapids atop your SUP. Land on beaches and stretch. Stop at a riverside hot spring and warm up! You will paddle past scenic areas including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands, and steep canyon walls. This varied landscape is home to all kinds of wildlife, including bald eagles, deer, beaver, and big horn sheep.

We are proudly a smaller operation offering intimate Colorado adventures. Our stand up paddle board guides are highly trained, experienced, and state certified.

This river tour was incredibly fun and beautiful. It was the perfect trip for families or beginners. Our guide, Jacob was experienced and so much fun! We are definitely going to do this again next year on a different part of the river with more rapids.

We love this trip for the majestic river valley sights, and the lofty mountain vistas in the distance. Even the drive in is lovely! A true remote "wild and scenic" Colorado river experience for families.
