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.

Our tour was outstanding, it was exciting. It was relaxing. It was beautiful. It was challenging. Our guide Rio was attentive to the children and interesting for the adults. The water was cold, but we didn’t notice. The tour was the perfect amount of time. The whole team at wild was attentive and fun. We can’t wait to bring our family back next month

We had an awesome time with Rio as our guide. He was very knowledgeable on all things rivers and rafting, and also had a fun personality. He kept us entertained and on task at the same time. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a good adventure on the river.

Couldn’t have asked for better weather or more capable guides! Ian and Rio were super knowledgeable, professional and kind as were all the other folks at Mild to Wild. Loved the river’s fast action and all the cold splashes. The wetsuit and booties are a must! No time for pics on this trip, but my husband and I have some great memories to take back home with us. Thanks y’all!! 💙🩵
