Colorado River Whitewater Rafting
This legendary river starts on the western edge of the continental divide and is fed by melting snow. The Colorado river runs from its source in the Rocky Mountains all the way South through the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and eventually into the Gulf of California. The Upper Colorado River, which is the part closest to us, is great for rafting and offers classic Colorado scenery, the chance to spot wildlife, steep canyons, and views of the Rocky Mountains. This river provides the quintessential Colorado rafting experience for you and your group. We offer two exceptional Colorado River rafting tours—a beginner scenic float trip down Pumphouse Canyon, and an expert Class V trip down Gore Canyon.
