JOIN US FOR OVERNIGHT RAFTING TRIPS IN COLORADO
Your 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 RAFTING FULL-DAY
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.
