The Colorado River

The lifeblood of the American West and a top choice for whitewater rafting tours in Colorado. There's nothing like Colorado whitewater rafting on the Colorado River. The upper reaches of the Colorado River, the headwaters, are right here in the center part of the state. These waters will move on in to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Lake Mead, before straining to reach the Pacific Ocean in the northern desert of Mexico.

The Eagle River

A significant tributary to the Upper Colorado River. Its headwaters are on the Continental Divide just south of Vail and beaver Creek. The Eagle River is still a wild flowing, un-dammed river. Every day on the Eagle is different and new as water levels ebb and flow with the melting snowpack. The Eagle has sections that boast some of Colorado’s biggest whitewater at higher flows. This is also known as one of Vail’s local rivers, as it is only minutes from anywhere in the valley.

Gore Creek

A tributary to the Eagle River, Gore Creek is Vail’s true local drainage system, as it flows right through the heart of Vail Village. Gore Creek’s headwaters are literally within eyesight of town, as it begins its journey downstream from the Gore mountain range and Vail Pass. Dramatic views and convenience are the staple of this river trip.

Went on 2 raft trips - Browns Canyon and Glenwood Canyon

Our family had two great Class 3 trips with Sage. We went with them last year and had a great time, so we went with them again last year. Really a full service outfit. Guides really know the rivers and the general area - so you get a bit of a guided tour of the various area on your way to the boat houses and the launch sites. I cannot say enough about how good the guides were. We travel with an adventurous 8-year old, and while they focus on safety, they really allowed her to have an adventure. It has now become one of her favorite things to do when we go out west - and there are lots of other “fun things” on the competition list for her.
