Telluride Afternoon Half-Day Rafting Tour on the San Miguel River

Telluride Afternoon Half-Day Rafting Tour on the San Miguel River

Overview

When it comes to Colorado whitewater, hardly anyone knows about the San Miguel River. Which is kind of a surprise! Given how much fun it is, on top of being in proximity to bougie and beloved Telluride.

The rafting section is gorgeously scenic, exciting for all experience levels, and pretty much a must if you want to spend the afternoon like a local. Its red sandstone canyon juxtaposed by flourishing pine forests make for a picturesque setting to recreate on this Rocky Mountain river.

Anyone who loves the outdoors will have an absolute hoot on this tour, whether it’s your first or hundredth time rafting. Just ask our guides, most— if not all!— will agree that the San Miguel is their favorite river to run.

We went with Hannah and she was amazing. Our group ranged from 20 to 70 and she made sure we were safe and got a great experience. Customer service at Mild2Wild was awesome from planning our trip to what was needed to the actual event!

There was a mix of people, ranging from 8 year olds to 65 plus men and women. We had a blast and the river guides, Sammy and Nate took good care of us. Highly recommend for the pure fun of it

This was a very relaxing experience with great guides. We went as a couple, and ended up getting our own raft with our guide. If you’re looking to be out on the river with constant smaller features this is perfect, if you’re looking for more danger MildtoWild also has day+ trips that I believe offer that. Our guide, Nathan shared stories, taught us about rapids, and significantly added to the experience. Definitely recommend!
