Looking for an exciting activity to enjoy in the sun? Well, we’ve got some great suggestions for you based on feedback from happy visitors. How about embarking on an exhilarating river rafting and tubing adventure? Vail Village is the place to be, with its very own whitewater park. And if that’s not enough, you’ll find a range of thrilling river trips available on the Eagle, Colorado, and Arkansas rivers, offering different levels of difficulty from Class I to Class V. So get ready for an unforgettable experience!
If you’re traveling with kids and want an easy and safe rafting experience, check out Vail’s Whitewater Park or the upper Colorado River. These locations offer gentle rides that don’t require much skill. If you’re looking for a bit more excitement and maneuvering, consider the middle Eagle and upper Colorado rivers. They provide a slightly more challenging experience. For experienced paddlers seeking a thrill, there are options like the middle and lower Eagle River, Brown’s Canyon, Shoshone, or Gore Creek. These rivers have medium waves, drops of 3 to 5 feet, and opportunities for maneuvering. If you consider yourself an advanced rafter, you’ll enjoy the adrenaline rush of navigating Gore Creek, Edwards Mile, Dowd Shute, upper Eagle, and The Numbers. These rivers feature large waves, long rapids, and significant drops, requiring sharp maneuvers. However, it’s important to note that Class V rapids like Pine Creek, The Numbers, and Gore Canyon are extremely challenging and dangerous. These rapids should only be attempted by experts, as they have large waves and rocks that can pose serious risks to inexperienced passengers.
