- Rancho Del Rio - Spend time with our friends and family on this fully guided rafting adventure on the beautiful and pristine Upper Colorado River. This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands and steep canyon walls. This varied landscape is home to all kinds of wildlife, including bald eagles, deer, beaver, and big horn sheep - always something to marvel at.
Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow! In the latter half of the summer flow slows. Bring the entire family (5 yrs and up) on this journey anytime. There’s something for everyone.
If big, exciting water is what your group is looking for, then mid-June to early July is traditionally the high-water season. When the river runs at its peak, it can be a big ride. Most groups enjoy normal runs in May, then mid-July through all September.
