Quick Details
Paddling through Rockwood Gorge is one of the most incredible outdoor experiences. During peak runoff, this section of the river is unnavigable for commercial rafts. As the river level drops in late July and August, this gorge becomes a playground of class III-IV rapids.
We get dropped off by the train at the confluence of Cascade Creek or Tank Creek. After getting geared up, we warm up with 4 miles of class III-IV rapids before we get to the entrance to the gorge. The length of the gorge runs 3 miles and is stacked with steep and technical rapids. Within the walls, we take our time to scout “Red Wall” and the “Guardian,” which are class IV rapids. Satisfaction is the best way to describe the feeling once we reach the takeout.
Join us on a 9.5-mile raft trip down the San Miguel River in Telluride, CO. In the spring and early summer this snow-melt-fed river plunges from the high peaks of the San Juan Mountains. Open May-June.
Great adventure and stunning scenery await you in the San Juan National Forest of Southwest Colorado! Enjoy class III and IV rapids along with some calmer sections and visits to historical landmarks.
This is one of the most sought-after trips in the United States due to the remoteness, stunning scenery, and fantastic whitewater.
