Steamboat Springs Colorado River Rafting Trips

See and experience the beauty of Colorado by rafting one of Steamboat Springs nearby rivers. There are many exhilarating options, including whitewater rafting and floating the Colorado River. From May to October, you can enjoy this spectacular river and all the grandeur it has to offer with isolated views of Colorado.

Whether you're experienced and can go it alone or require some help from an outfitter, getting into some whitewater is well worth it. Moving through the water, you will pass ancient dinosaur tracks, view old stagecoach trails and take in Colorado's unique geological sights. Ultimately while in Steamboat, the Colorado River is an ideal option for the single adventurer, families, and groups of all different skill level and experience. If you are looking for a more wild whitewater rush, check out the nearby Eagle River. One of the only undammed rivers in Colorado, rafting the Eagle River provides ample untamed water and rushing rapids. The ride is especially good from May to July when the water level explodes with ample amounts of alpine snowmelt and runoff. In addition to tubing, visitors may also raft Steamboat's other undammed river, the Yampa. Rafting the Yampa River proves especially ideal because of its relative isolation. Within the class IV rapids, river rafters can discover solitude and peace in this somewhat undertraveled part of the state. Whatever route and rapid you choose, there are plenty of guides and outfitters to help you get going. Reservations are strongly recommended and in many cases required.
