On our Riverside Camping option, we will drift along the scenic Upper Colorado River where towering canyons and rolling hills frame your journey. Feel the gentle current carry you through calm waters and playful rapids as you take in the rugged beauty of Colorado’s wilderness. As the sun sets, pull up to a secluded riverside campsite, far from the crowds, where the crackle of a campfire and a sky full of stars set the perfect backdrop for a night in the great outdoors.
This overnight rafting experience utilizes a more established campground at a riverside community called Rancho del Rio. For those looking for a bit of extra comfort and additional amenities, Rancho Del Rio offers amenities like a small general store and a port-a-potty. It’s also a great choice for those who might not be quite ready for backcountry style camping, or if you prefer your vehicle and/or extra gear nearby. This serene riverside retreat is the perfect way to end a day of exploration and adventure.
Our overnight trip on the Upper Colorado River covers fourteen river miles over two days and is inviting to people of all ages. This rare gem has been a popular escape for private rafters for years and has been considered for the coveted National Wild and Scenic River designation. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation was created to preserve certain rivers with outstandingly remarkable natural, cultural, and recreational value in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of present and future generations. This varied landscape is home to all kinds of wildlife, including bald eagles, deer, beaver, and big horn sheep, there is always something to marvel at.
The Upper Colorado River is located just south of the town of Kremmling, about an hour North of our office in Silverthorne. It is convenient to all the Summit County and I-70 corridor ski areas of Keystone, Breckenridge, and Vail.
