(22 reviews)

3 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

The Colorado River is our favorite family-friendly rafting trip. This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands and steep canyon walls with wildlife including bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep - always something to see. Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher spring water flows.

Beginning as snowmelt high in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Rockies give birth to the legendary Colorado River. Downstream of the Park, the river intensifies through the famed Class 5 “Gore Canyon”, but below, the river gentles where our Colorado River Rafting trips begin. An introduction to white water rafting for families with children and grandparents, any group looking for a scenic Colorado adventure will enjoy this raft trip.

We are proudly a smaller operation offering intimate Colorado adventures. Our raft guides are highly trained, experienced, and State certified.

What to expect

Spend time with our friends and family on this fully guided rafting adventure on the beautiful and pristine Upper Colorado River. This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views 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 - always something to marvel at.

Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow! In the latter half of the summer flow slows. Bring the entire family (5 yrs and up) on this journey anytime. There's something for everyone.

If big, exciting water is what your group is looking for, then mid-June to early July is traditionally the high-water season. When the river runs at its peak, it can be a big ride. Most groups enjoy normal runs in May, then mid-July through all September.
