Class II, III and Full-day Colorado River Rafting Trips
Located near the headwaters of the Colorado River and Rocky Mountain National Park, the Upper Colorado River is ideal for those who want beautiful canyon scenery and non-intimidating whitewater. Red Eye, Screaming Left Turn, and other intermediate Class II and III rapids offer enjoyment for all ages. These river rafting trips are great for first-time boaters and families with children. All or part of the Rocky Mountain Adventures, Inc. operation is conducted on public lands under special permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
The beauty of this river canyon is due to the abundant wildflowers, the sheer granite canyon walls, and the blue spruce and Douglas fir trees. Rocky Mountain Adventures offers half-day, full-day, and two-day whitewater rafting trips. We use paddle-powered rafts where you grab a paddle and help maneuver the raft through the rapids or oar-powered rafts where you sit back and let the guide do most of the work. We provide all rafting related gear, guides in each raft, and a shuttle from the meeting place at our Mad Adventures River Office in Kremmling to and from the Upper Colorado River put in.
Weather in this alpine environment is variable with afternoon temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 degrees. Although there is usually plenty of sun, afternoon thundershowers can occur.
