Joy after a section of rapids!

About this activity

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!
