LOWER ANIMAS FAMILY RAFT TRIPS

The half day raft trip through Durango, Colorado is our most popular Class II-III adventure. Perfect for all members of the family and our trips run daily from May 1st into September. Meet us in downtown Durango at 643 Camino del Rio in the Albertson’s grocery parking lot for the highlight of your summer vacation. Ask about our Inflatable Kayak option to up your adventure level. We also have a 2 hour economy trip and a 6 hour full day trip. 

WORLD CLASS UPPER ANIMAS RAFT ADVENTURE

The trip of a lifetime! “Not to difficult, but difficult in places; long, but short enough to run in a day; wilderness, yet paralleled by the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Rail Road; the Upper Animas flows through the heart of the majestic San Juan Mountains. Overnights are common on this run just to prolong one’s immersion in the beautiful country. Enjoy the river: play it, work it, do a side hike up into the mountains surrounding it.” Choose from the Silverton Class IV – V stretch, the Needleton Class III – IV stretch, the Class IV Rockwood Gorge or do it all on our two and three day trips.

PIEDRA RIVER RAFT ADVENTURE

The Piedra has two distinct sections known as the Upper Piedra Box Class II – III+ and the Lower Piedra Box Class IV. It is not as difficult as the Upper Animas, but this is still a trip for experienced boaters because of the steep drops, cold water and isolation of the box canyons.
