Colorado River Rafting: Family Fun Half-Day Trip!
210
Overview
Colorado River Whitewater Rafting: Half Day Trip takes rafters down the scenic Upper Colorado River. This trip is great for families and anyone wanting a gentle Colorado adventure. The river offers beautiful views of meadows, valleys, ranch lands, and canyon walls.
Keep an eye out for wildlife! Bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep all call this area home. The rafting itself is mostly mild, with Class I-II rapids. Sometimes, especially when the water is higher in the spring, there are Class III rapids for a little extra excitement. This trip is perfect for those new to whitewater rafting.
The adventure starts at the Rancho Del Rio boathouse. After meeting the guides and getting gear, a shuttle takes everyone to the river. Then it's time to enjoy the rapids and maybe even a swimming hole! After the rafting, another shuttle brings the group back to the boathouse.
