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!

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for this kayaking experience?

A: Yes, there are age restrictions for the Upper Colorado River kayaking. Kids as young as 5 can join, but they need to be in tandem with an adult. The guides are great with families and can help keep things safe and fun. Just check with the provider if you have younger ones to make sure they’ll be able to join!

Q: What's the best time of year to go for the most exciting experience?

A: If you're looking for the most excitement, mid-June to early July is when the river is at its peak! That's when you'll find the biggest rapids. Just be prepared for some splashes! Book ahead though, it's a popular time.

Q: What should we wear for the kayaking trip?

A: Dress in comfortable, quick-drying clothes! A swimsuit and a light shirt work great. Don't forget sandals that can get wet. They provide splash jackets, but if it’s sunny, sunscreen is a must! And yeah, bring a hat for some shade.

Thinking of gifting the Upper Colorado River kayaking experience! Anyone done it?

I’m looking at booking the kayak trip on the Upper Colorado River for my partner's birthday. I love that it offers scenic views and wildlife. How's the experience overall? Any tips for first-timers? I hope it’s fun for both of us, as we're not pros at this!

Just completed the kayaking trip! Amazing experience!

Wow, we just got back from the Upper Colorado River kayaking trip, and it was incredible! The rapids were just the right level of excitement, and we saw sooo many cool animals. The guides were super chill and made sure we were all safe. I totally recommend this for anyone looking for a fun day outdoors!
