What you'll do:

This guided rafting trip on either the Upper Colorado River (Beginner/Class I or II) or the Blue River (Intermediate/Class III) is a favorite way to connect with friends and family while enjoying Colorado’s natural beauty. The rivers wind through a diverse landscape of meadows, valleys, ranch lands, and dramatic canyon walls, offering stunning views along the way. Wildlife sightings are common, with bald eagles, deer, beavers, and bighorn sheep often making appearances. The rapids on the Upper Colorado River are mostly mild Class I-II, with occasional Class III waves during higher water flows, making the trip suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities. The Blue River is a splashier, faster trip, with more coordinated paddling required. Both adventures are fully guided, allowing you to relax and soak in the scenery. It's an exciting and fun way for groups to experience the beauty of Colorado's outdoors together.

Why we love it for your party:

Scenic and wildlife-rich landscape offers a shared experience of nature that’s both relaxing and exciting.
Family-friendly rapids make it safe and enjoyable for groups with varying ages and adventure spirit.
Fully guided adventure means no stress—just paddling, laughter, and quality time on the river.
