Whitewater rafting on the Upper Colorado River

Upper Colorado River

The Colorado River has its origins in the high mountains of Colorado. Geo Tours has raft and inflatable kayak trips over nearly 70 continuous miles as the Colorado River cuts a path through the Gore Mountain Range at the beginning of its long trip to the Pacific Ocean. There are natural hot springs, historic cabins, swimming, hiking and beautiful scenery. The river is ideal for first time participants, families and groups of all ages and abilities. The Upper Colorado River is easily accessible from many resorts including: Breckenridge, Vail and Winterpark or guests can select the convenient option of transport with Geo Tours from the Denver Area. “We’ll do the driving!” Geo has a standard lineup of One-Day, Overnight, Two-Day, Three-Day, Four-day and Five-Day expeditions. CLASS I - III

One-Day Trip - This trip begins at the Pumphouse and continues downstream through Little Gore and Red Gore canyons. A great mixture of moderate rapids, such as: Needles Eye and Yarmony and gentle water. Other sections further downstream can be rafted as a one-day trip, these trips offer less congestion than the Pumphouse run.

MINIMUM AGE: 5 years*
SEASON: May through Labor Day
COST: One-day $70.00/adult; $60.00/child 12 and under
Geo can customize a part-day trip for your group (minium two rafts)

(Add BLM fees)

Overnight trip - An overnight trip typically splits a one-day trip into two 1/2 day trips with a riverside camp. Trips leave in the afternoon and finish up around noon the following day. Geo's trips are fully self-supported which means we have everything we need to have a well appointed, while relatively remote campsite along the river.

MINIMUM AGE: 7 years*
SEASON: May through Labor Day
COST: Overnight (1/2 day, camp, 1/2 day) $160.00/adult; $140/child 12 and under (Add BLM fees)

Multi-day trips - Geo has multi-day trips from 2 to 5 days in length. These trips give you the opportunity to explore areas of the Colorado River not often visited. You'll enjoy the beautiful scenery, spectacular canyons, natural history and geology. Multi-day trips let you "get away from it all" in the midst of some of the finest scenery in this portion of Colorado. Let us customize one of these trips for you!
