Half-Day Whitewater Rafting Upper Colorado River
Description
This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands, and steep canyon walls and wildlife including ducks, geese, bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep -- always something fun to see. The Colorado River is our favorite family-friendly rafting trip. Beginning as snowmelt high in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Colorado Rockies give birth to the legendary Colorado River. Downstream of the national park, the river character intensifies through the famed and Class 5 “Gore Canyon”, and then below the river gentles. This is where our Colorado River Rafting experiences begin, with an introduction to white water rafting for families, and groups looking to enjoy an iconic Colorado vacation.

Tanner, Bronson, and Ethan were great. Fun morning on the river.
Excellent and experienced guides. Great family trip. Our raft guide Ethan was fantastic.
Glad you and your family were able to join us on this lovely and scenic section of the Colorado River. We're lucky to have guides like Ethan! Thanks for the review and we hope to see you all again.
Excellent family adventure - we loved our time on the river. This company has excellent and experienced guides - everyone was great - and our Raft Guide Ethan was awesome - he made us feel safe and he was a pleasure to be with.
Our guide Ethan knows this river and loves to show it off. This is our favorite way to experience Colorado's wild public lands with family members of all ages, boating through big canyons and tight narrows. Thanks for heading downriver with us!
Tanner was an excellent guide. He made the trip fun for our family going through awesome rapids, and also very knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of the area. He is safety oriented which put our minds at ease for our kids. Well worth the cost. We’ll come back and feel comfortable leveling up to bigger rapids next time!
This is our favorite family-friendly trip - for the scenery and the beginner rapids. Plus, the guides love introducing guests to the history of this majestic valley. Glad you'll be back! Thanks!
This was a great trip for my family. Our guides Tanner and Bronson were super friendly and safety was top priority. We all felt in good hands with these guides. Once on the water the fun begun even though Tanner had everyone well entertained from walking up at the meeting spot through our safety orientation. If you want a laid back great experience, you will not wrong with these guys.
This is fabulous to hear. Tanner may be a jokester, but he's also one of our swiftwater rescue course instructors, so he really knows what he's doing out there. Thanks for going out with us!
Fun ride! Tanner is an experienced and knowledgeable guide. I recommend the Colorado Rafting Co for all ages. Great group activity. Saw a lot of wildlife and beautiful scenery.
This river is highly recommended for the scenery and camaraderie with bigger groups. Our guides do love to show it off! Thanks for the review.
We had a wonderful time. Great first rafting experience for my son. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. And if you’re lucky you’ll get Tanner as your guide, he was helpful, educated and entertaining. 10/10 Great time!
So glad to hear your first time was wonderful. Thanks for the big recommendation of our guides and the river! Hope to see you again, maybe on another river we work with??
The scenery and water were beautiful, we he’d the upper Colorado. The rapids were pretty tame, Tanner our wonderful guide was the life of the expedition 😊 I highly recommend this for beginners. My family had a great time
Yes, this is a great float with dependable flow through a magnificent canyon, suitable for all ages to enjoy. Hope to see you again!
Ethan was a great guide ensuring our safety as well as keeping us focused and pointing out various historical landmarks and fun facts along the journey.
There's lots to see in this beautiful canyon: mining ruins, attempts at building dams, wildlife, ranches and steep canyons...a wonderful place to enjoy with friends and family. Thanks for giving kudos to Ethan!
Our guides Brandi and Julia were fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour. Brandi was a blast and I wish I could do it again!
So glad you had fun! Please do come back.
