Whitewater Rafting Bucket List

Experiencing the great outdoors on a whitewater rafting trip is a once in a lifetime experience. The following list are experiences everyone should have at least once. Get your marker out and check off that box because you are one step closer to completing your bucket list with a whitewater experience of a lifetime!

 

1) Starlight Camping

Spending the night under the stars surrounded by friends and family is an experience in itself. Whether you choose to sleep in a tent or find a serene spot next to the river, you are guaranteed to have a great night’s sleep. For the adventurous camper, check out Eno hammocks ~ easy assembly and something different than the traditional camping pad or tent!

 

2) Comraderie by the Campfire

Get away from the city grind and enjoy some quality time with your loved ones around a blazing fire. Get back to your childhood roots with some old fashioned s’mores prepared riverside. Accompanied by an adult beverage of your choice, this will be a night you will not forget!

 

3) The Hidden Gems of the River

Consider a rafting trip on the Colorado River. Not only did this river carve the Grand Canyon, it also sets the stage for amazing family fun. Halfway through your rafting trip, entice your senses with a little adventure. Your guide will pull over to the bank and you will have a choice between a 5 and a 18 foot rock to make your trip even more memorable as you take in everything Colorado has to offer. Cliff jumping is very exhilarating, but just wait until you see the hidden hot springs. Nestled on off the river bank, the private hot springs is a highlight of the Colorado River.

 

4) Take the river into your own hands

Expand your horizons as you explore the river in every type of craft such as inflatable kayaks, stand up paddle boards, and lemon boats. Our Kremmling Outpost, located an hour from Summit County and about two hours from Denver, rents both inflatable kayaks, also known as duckies, and stand up paddle boards for day use. You must be 10 years of age to rent a kayak and 13 years of age to rent a stand up paddle board. Challenge your comfort zone ~ you never know, you might discover a hidden passion for a lifelong hobby!
