We are enjoying warm summer temperatures in our fine state and it’s a perfect time to be out on the water. When it’s hot in town and on the mountain, you know it’s time for a Colorado river rafting adventure! 

Whitewater Rafting Options

Rafting conditions throughout central Colorado continue to provide great opportunities this year. From exciting rapids to leisurely floats, we have rafting trips available for adventurers of all abilities and ages. These hot August days are the perfect time to enjoy a day on the water, and it’s arguably one of the best times to raft in Colorado.

 

The Upper Colorado River and the Shoshone Rapids in Glenwood Canyon are perfect activities for a hot summer day. We have half-day trips available in the mornings or afternoons, and there’s no better way to cool off.

Join us on the Arkansas River for Browns Canyon rafting trips – this area plus The Numbers rapids of the Arkansas River are a few of the “must do” trips here in Colorado. We have 3/4 and full day trips available on these famous stretches of the Arkansas River.

Browns Canyon rapids include large, exciting rapids followed by calm stretches to recover, making it a great rafting choice for a wide range of skill levels. The Numbers, on the other hand, offers a powerful punch of class IV rapids. And these are just a few of our Colorado river rafting options!

Here at Sage, we’re proud to have a wide range of rafting experiences. We can help you plan the perfect Colorado river expeditions for a group of any age or experience level. Here’s a quick overview of our rafting trips in Colorado:
