Trip Overview

Renew your relationship with the kids this summer away from TVs and computer games while viewing wildlife, stargazing and, of course, roasting marshmallows around the campfire. Kids are welcome on all of our adventures except for those listed as “adults only” and the CO School of Mines trips (minimum age 15). Gain a whole new sense of “family” while enjoying the outdoors together. This is also a great opportunity to invite grandparents so they can bond with the kids too!

Canoe Colorado on the Yampa River, the last undammed tributary of the Colorado River system. This enchanted river in northwestern Colorado gently meanders through a remote area teeming with wildlife, colorful vegetation and an Indian pictograph. Relaxation is the keyword while camping along the lush open meadows and high-walled canyons through this 34-mile river stretch near Craig, CO. Plus, you have a good chance of seeing wildlife: deer, antelope, hawks and both bald and golden eagles. This is the most gentle of the rivers we paddle…canoeing in Colorado has never been better!
