Our two hour trip is the classic "Whitewater" run in Durango, appropriate for all ages, and our most popular. This Class I-III stretch of the river starts north above town and meanders downstream about six and one half miles long. During this trip you can expect to experience several rapids and historical landmarks of the Old West.
After a thorough safety orientation and a few minutes on the river to get everyone situated and comfortable on the raft, the fun starts off with Rivertripper Rapid. We are very proud of this drop. We designed and built the rapid after the area was disturbed with utilities buried beneath the river bottom. It is fun as well as being a good example of how a disturbed area in nature can be aesthetically enhanced while using the natural elevation change in the river. To create wildlife habitat, a good rapid, and fun for all.
We then continue onward through Main Street Bridge, Little Smelter, Smelter Rapid, Santa Rita Hole, Sawmill Rapid, K-Mart Rapid, as well as an international Whitewater race course.
This is a great trip for the "Beginner" as well as the "Seasoned Adventurer", families, groups, and friends. For those looking for even more adventure try one of our inflatable kayaks. They're stable, forgiving and even more fun.

Dolores River - 1 Day Trip - Group of 6 or more
The Dolores River is one of the most scenic rivers in North America. The permitted sections that we run are located about one and one half hours from Durango towards Mesa Verde National Park. The Dolores flows over two hundred miles Northwest, eventually joining the Colorado River above Moab, Utah. The Dolores has many Class III+ rapids including the most famous big drop in southwest Colorado, "Snagletooth Rapid" Class IV+. The Federal Government only permits 18 outfitters in the Nation to run expeditions on the Dolores River. This permitting system allows the canyon through which the river flows, to remain in a pristine wilderness condition. We are proud to be one of the original outfitters who run trips on this exclusively permitted section of the Dolores River.
The trip begins above Ponderosa Gorge characterized by mature stands of ancient Ponderosa and Fir trees. The banks of the river are highlighted by towering red sandstone walls which often reach clear to the rivers edge. Through the trip you can see evidence of the ancient Anasazi ruins, petroglyphs, herds of big horn sheep, deer, elk, and many other varieties of wildlife. Adventuring on, the canyon becomes narrow and the vegetation is more predominantly pinyon, juniper, yucca and cactus. Beautiful campsites line the banks of the river. With our great chef, friendly guides, camping equipment and dutch oven delights, we offer you a wilderness experience with all the comforts of home. The Dolores river is a perfect trip for the entire family as well as the seasoned adventurer. Its not just a trip its an expedition...
