Get ready to twist and shout! The morning section of the San Miguel River starts in a narrow winding canyon with constant class II-III rapids. The scenery is impeccable and the splashes are aplenty!

 

EXPERIENCE:

The morning rafting section of the San Miguel River is gorgeously scenic as it winds through a narrow canyon, filled with exciting rapids. Its red sandstone canyon juxtaposed by flourishing pine forests make for a picturesque setting to recreate on this lesser-known Rocky Mountain river.

This is an active paddling trip! You’ll help the guide power through the rapids, maneuver around obstacles in the river, and skirt around tight river bends. Be ready for plenty of class II-III rapids to splash through! The gradient and flows of this river change quite a bit, so some sections will be steeper and deeper than others.

Anyone who loves the outdoors will have an absolute hoot on this tour, whether it’s your first or hundredth time rafting. Just ask our guides, most— if not all!— will agree that the San Miguel is their favorite river to run.

All rafting trips come with a safety orientation and paddle instruction from your highly-trained river guides. You’ll be provided with a PFD (aka life jacket), paddle, and wetsuit if you are renting one.
