Highlights
This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands, and steep canyon walls, and wildlife including bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep - always something to see. You can paddle to a sandy shore to greet families of geese, to the edges of huge cliffs, or around smaller obstacles, wherever your curiosity takes you. Go double with a friend, or enjoy solitude in a single-person ducky. Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow. If big, exciting water is what your group is looking for, then the high-water season is the best time to come. Mid-June to early July is traditionally the high-water season. When rivers run at their peak, it can make for a big ride. Pick a big line or choose to skirt it in your own ducky!

About Vail
Vail is a ski resort town in the Colorado Rockies, built in the 1960s as an Alpine-style village, with mountain biking and hiking in summer.
Vail was founded in 1962 by Pete Seibert, a veteran of the army's 10th Mountain Division, and designed as a pedestrian village in the style of an Alpine ski town, with timbered buildings, cobbled squares and a stream running through. It sits at about 2,500 metres in the Gore Creek valley, beneath the Gore Range, and is one of the largest ski areas in North America, with wide Back Bowls to the south.
