Some Adventure Options

Upper Colorado Rafting Half-Day Adventures

This family friendly scenic half-day Colorado white water rafting trip launches at the Pumphouse launch site and we raft to the Radium take out.  We will raft approximately 5.5 miles of mostly Class I/II water, with one Class III rapid.  This trip consists of a beautiful scenic float down to the canyon, and in the canyon is where we will experience most of our rapids.  At the end of the canyon we typically stop at the famous Jump Rock (13 years and older) and Punk Rock (all ages) for a jump into the river for those who are inclined.
