Kayak Gorgeous Upper Colorado River - half day
Description
This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands, and steep canyon walls, and wildlife including bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep - always something to see. You can paddle to a sandy shore to greet families of geese, to the edges of huge cliffs, or around smaller obstacles, wherever your curiosity takes you. Go double with a friend, or enjoy solitude in a single-person ducky. Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow. If big, exciting water is what your group is looking for, then the high-water season is the best time to come. Mid-June to early July is traditionally the high-water season. When rivers run at their peak, it can make for a big ride. Pick a big line or choose to skirt it in your own ducky!

We decided to do the double kayaks through the Upper Colorado river and it was a wonderful adventure!
Choosing the inflatable kayaks brings you closer to the river. You can paddle to the edges to check out goose families and flowers. It can add excitement - all rapids look taller from the lower level of a ducky. Lastly, the kayakers are supported by the guides in rafts in case you need help, so no reason not to try one even if you're new to the sport. Glad you had fun!
Our guide Tanner rocked! Very knowledgeable and experienced. He made the adventure fun and memorable. We felt very safe and would definitely recommend this tour company.
Good to know you felt safe while having fun on the river! Big summer fun! Thanks for calling out Tanner.
My family of 4 had a wonderful tour with Tanner! He was informative, helpful and made our family outing super memorable! We will be back! It was wonderful to get out on the water and see all that CO offers!
Good to know! Thank you for the review.
This is a must do while in Colorado! I was a little nervous about doing it but I’m so glad I did. My husband and I had such a wonderful time and the views were spectacular! We can’t remember our guides’ names but we called the one Coach (he’s a football coach). The guides made me feel very comfortable and at ease, since it was my first time. From start to finish they were wonderful, definitely recommend booking with this company!
This stretch of the Colorado River is our favorite way to see wild, natural areas of Colorado that many never get to experience. We're glad you felt safe and had a wonderful time! Hope to see you again.
Great time rafting the Upper Colorado. Tanner, Jake and Dustin were excellent guides. We had a group of 14 family members and we all had a blast!
This is our favorite trip for groups with members of all ages and physical ability. Calm waters alternate with narrow canyons, giving lots of time to socialize and appreciate the gorgeous surroundings. Glad you enjoyed it so much!
Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! The views were breathtaking. Best kayak trip ever!
Thank you so much! We love the glow of Fall colors on the Upper Colorado this time of year. And still warm enough!
