We strongly recommend this trip if you are wanting more independence and adventure over the Half Day Adventure.  Participants begin in a raft from the Shoshone Boat Ramp to the Grizzly Creek Boat Ramp, offering the excitement of the Shoshone Rapids and the thrill of Class III whitewater.  Once at Grizzly Creek, you then jump into an inflatable kayak (one person and two person options) and continue the remaining 10 miles downstream while still in the comfort of having the river guides in close proximity.  Families and groups do combined this trip with the Half Day Adventure, providing yet another way to expand everyones experience.

This trip begins at the Shoshone Rapids (an app. 2 mile Class III to III+ section on the Colorado River) then continues downriver for approximately 12 miles (average flows), ending at the Blue Sky Rafting private boat ramp in West Glenwood Springs.

15 years for single kayak / 6 years with guardian for double kayak (water level & experience dependent).
