We are a small family owned and operated rafting company with over 35 years of experience rafting rivers throughout Steamboat Springs and Vail. We take great pride in your safety and enjoyment of our rafting trips.

We specialize in families, groups, teams, and other customized rafting from Steamboat Springs, Vail, & surrounding areas. Our company values are just two of the reasons guests return and refer us to their friends and family.

Over the past 35 years Colorado River Guides has had the honor of rafting with visitors and locals alike through some of the best waterways in Northwestern Colorado. Our rafting trips, enjoyed best in our large rafts and inflatable kayaks, take you through some of America’s most beautiful country – towering canyon walls, exotic red rock territory, sandy beaches and lush riverside vegetation.

We are honored our guests continue to raft with us year after year, it allows us to do what we love and we are so grateful. In the summers on our days off you can usually find us on the river with our friends & families.

We love and value our local community and will do what we can to lend our support when we are able. Some of our past and present partnerships include; Steamboat Springs School District, Advocates of Routt County, Brighter World Child Advocacy Center, South Routt School District, Partners of Routt County and many others.
