Colorado Whitewater Rafting

RAFTING NEAR KREMMLING

You're on the Colorado River — and Liquid Descent runs two of its best stretches right here.

You're Already on the River

Kremmling sits at the heart of the Colorado River valley, and it's one of the most underrated outdoor destinations in the state. The river here is wide, powerful, and remote — a completely different experience from the canyon runs on Clear Creek near Idaho Springs.

Liquid Descent operates two trips from Kremmling: the Upper Colorado scenic float, a wildlife-rich journey through ranchlands with the chance to spot bald eagles, great blue herons, and bighorn sheep — and Gore Canyon, one of the most extreme commercial rafting trips in Colorado, a Class IV–V expedition through a roadless granite canyon.

Grand County visitors, Winter Park guests, and anyone driving US-40 through Middle Park should know this river is right in their backyard. The Upper Colorado is great for families and mixed groups. Gore Canyon is for those who are ready for something they won't forget.

Getting Here

You're already here — our Colorado River outpost is right in town.

Prefer Clear Creek?

Clear Creek's Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced runs near Idaho Springs are about 1 hour 30 minutes east via US-40 and I-70 — fast, continuous Class II–IV canyon whitewater.
