Upper Colorado River rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow. Beginning as snowmelt high in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Colorado Rockies give birth to the legendary Colorado River. Downstream of the Rocky Mountain National Park, the river character intensifies through the famed and Class 5 “Gore Canyon”, and then below the river gentles. This is where our Colorado River rafting experiences begin, with an introduction to white water rafting for families with children and grandparents, and groups looking to enjoy a true Colorado vacation.
