Highlights
Depart from Bond near Vail for a half-day guided whitewater rafting trip down the Upper Colorado River. Mostly gentle Class I-II rapids with occasional Class III rapids make it suitable for beginners and families with children. Paddle, swim, and soak up the sun amid classic Colorado scenery of meadows, ranches, and steep canyon cliffs.
Program
Ride the rapids together as a family
on the Upper Colorado River
Meet at the Colorado Rafting Company boathouse in Bond, with departures daily at 09:00 or 13:00. Get fitted with gear, meet your guide, and attend a safety briefing of about 30 minutes.
Take a shuttle to the put-in point
Ride a van from the boathouse to the river put-in point for about 15 minutes. All rafting equipment, including rafts and paddles, and all safety gear are provided.
Alternate between rapids and calm water
For about 2.5 hours, paddle through the thrill of the rapids, and swim and sunbathe on calmer stretches. The river passes meadows, valleys, rolling ranches, and canyon cliffs, home to wildlife such as bald eagles, deer, beavers, and bighorn sheep.
Return to the boathouse by shuttle after the take-out
When you reach the take-out point, ride the shuttle back to the boathouse where you started to finish the tour.
※ Wildlife lives in its natural habitat, so sightings are not guaranteed.
※ Class III rapids may appear depending on water levels.
