  3. Upper Roaring Fork – Moderate

This Upper section of the Roaring Fork is fun whitewater rafting for the whole family! Just 15 minutes away from downtown Aspen, the Upper Roaring Fork is sure to impress. With rapid names like Toothache, The Abscess, Catcher’s Mitt, Snowmass Hole and Anderson Falls; this trip will leave you grinning ear to ear. Keep your eyes peeled for nesting Red Tail Hawk, Osprey, Mule Deer and even the occasional Elk. Float through a beautiful canyon and let the whole family experience the joy of whitewater rafting or inflatable kayaking

We will provide everything you need to stay warm and comfortable on the river: wetsuits, river booties, splash jackets, personal floatation devices and helmets (required for select trips, and available for all trips). We even have fleece for you to wear if you get cold easily. Fresh snacks and cold beverages (Beer, Sodas, Water) will be served after we get off the river. All of these items are included in the trip cost. We also offer FREE photos with this trip!

Seeking a little more adventure? Try out an inflatable kayak (aka Ducky) and be the guide of your own vessel.
