Description

Just north of Aspen, along the Shoshone Rapids in the Colorado River, the perfect mix of adventure and leisure awaits!

Join one of our certified guides for an amazing day of white water rafting in the famous Colorado River through Glenwood Canyon.

After meeting first thing in the morning, we will head out on to the rapids and start our roughly 20 kilometer trip.

Our adventure begins with a bang, as we immediately find ourselves in the middle some Class II rapids. It will be nonstop action as we make our way through these rapids before hitting some calmer spots farther into the canyon.

From here, we will begin to meander along the canyon’s base, enjoying spectacular views of the red-rock walls and getting the chance to see some of the local wildlife, including bighorn sheep and birds of prey.

Class III rapids are generally of an intermediate level of difficulty. They would not be appropriate for smaller children, but are generally fine with older children and adults who have at least a bit of  previous experience.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for a thrilling and scenic day of white water rafting on the gorgeous Colorado River, near Aspen!

If you like the look of this trip then we think you will also enjoy our one-day trek from Aspen to Crested Butte!

Guide cancelled within 48 hrs and I was unable to find someone else and so far I’ve not been refunded. Put a small dent in my otherwise great trip to Revelstoke.

Guide was very experienced and very patient with us. We learned alot and he tried to fit in all the knowledge he could in one day, super awesome. A little tough going back and forth to get the trip set up hard to tell if the site is sketchy until you see reviews but all worked out. Ended up with an awesome day with an awesome guide. Overall pretty satisfied and thankful!
