###About Us
Guide owned and operated by river enthusiasts who spend much time on the water during their off days, Colorado Rafting Company offers the personal, attentive experience only a local, hands-on team can provide. Unlike larger outfitters, we believe in “small batch” rafting. Here, you’re part of the family, not a number. You’ll ride in a passenger van with new friends, not in school buses. From our seasoned, world-class guides to the fine-tuned safety measures tailored to each river’s unique personality, we’re dedicated to making your experience unforgettable.
At Colorado Rafting Company, adventure isn’t just our business-it’s our way of life. Our team is passionate about the rivers we call home, and we’re thrilled to share the experience with you. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of whitewater or the beauty of a more scenic float, our adventures offer the best of Colorado, crafted by people who truly love this land and its waterways. Join us for an unforgettable journey, where each paddle stroke brings you closer to the heart of Colorado.

With an exceptional track record spanning hiking, rafting, and rock climbing adventures, this outfitter consistently delivers through their talented guide team. Names like Jared, CJ, Tanner, Jake, Boyd, and Perry come up repeatedly, each praised for their expertise, safety focus, and ability to make adventures both educational and fun. Guides go above and beyond—lending gear to unprepared clients, spotting wildlife others miss, pacing beginners on their first 14ers, and tailoring rock climbing routes for mixed-ability families. The company shines at accommodating last-minute bookings and changes, with several reviewers noting same-day arrangements and flexible trip modifications. Whether you're tackling Quandary Peak for the first time or navigating Colorado River rapids with kids, guides strike that perfect balance of knowledgeable and laid-back. They share historical facts and trail tips while keeping the mood light and engaging. Multiple families specifically mentioned feeling safe with young children along, and first-time high-altitude hikers credited their guides with getting them safely to summits they might have otherwise turned back from.
I had a fantastic half-day rock climbing experience with Perry! He called me the day before to learn about my climbing background and discuss my expectations for the climb, which immediately made the experience feel personalized. Perry has a great teaching style, using demonstrations and fun reminders that made learning both effective and enjoyable. He did an excellent job progressively building my skills in a way that made me feel successful and confident throughout the climb. I especially appreciated that he gave me time to work through challenges on my own rather than stepping in too quickly, which really helped me learn and grow as a climber. Perry is professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I truly enjoyed climbing with him and am already looking forward to my next climb with him in September! He was also able to get some fun pictures of me so I could share the experience with my family.
