River Trips
LET US DO THE WORK
We’ll handle everything to get you on the river.
Renting makes it easy. Why hassle w/ loading your own kayaks or struggle to tie down your tubes in your truck. Our shuttle buses will transport you where you need to go where your rental equipment will be ready for you to hop in and go. No need to figure out how to get back to your car…
Trips ranging from 1.5 to 6 Hours
We offer trips that can last just a short float, or spend all day floating down the banks of the Rifle River.
