Join Us For Overnight Rafting Trips in ColoradoYour Rocky Mountain Adventures whitewater rafting journey of the North Platte River begins in the remote northern portion of the area known as North Park in Colorado at an elevation of 8,000 feet, about 20 miles west of the town of Walden. This rolling valley, famous for its fishing, cattle ranches and wildlife, ends abruptly in a mass of Precambrian metamorphic rock. The swift North Platte River has steadily eroded a narrow section of the ancient deposit, forming what trappers first called Northgate Canyon. During early spring launches the water of the North Platte is quite cold. Because it is important to stay warm, we highly recommend using a wet suit. Daytime highs range from 50 to 85 degrees, and overnight lows range from 35 to 55 degrees. Afternoon rain showers are common. North Platte River Whitewater Rafting - One-Day Adventure This whitewater rafting adventure begins at Routt Access northwest of Walden and ends at the Six Mile Gap Campground. On this river rafting journey, you plunge right through the awesome 800-feet-deep Northgate Canyon on the dancing waters of the North Platte. The Class III and Class IV rapids of the North Platte River are challenging and fun to navigate. The minimum age for rafters on this adventure is 13 years. Meeting Time: 9:30 AM
North Platte River Whitewater Rafting - Overnight Adventure The whitewater rafting overnight journey also begins at Routt Access. After negotiating the rapids of Northgate Canyon, you end the day at a riverside camp. The rapids on day two of the trip are milder, but fun. Often we are able to paddle to the base of several eagles' nests, and the hiking and photography on day two is excellent. Lunch and dinner are provided on the first day of your adventure. On the second day, breakfast and lunch are provided. The end of the trip is usually reached by mid-afternoon and the shuttle returns you to your car by about 5:00 p.m. The minimum age for rafters on this adventure is 13 years. Meeting Time: 9:30 AM
