History
Tom is the original owner of the business. His grandparents once lived in Estes Park. His family lived in the Chicago area and often vacationed here. After teaching school for awhile, he started thinking about the mountains and moved to Estes Park. He was a raft guide for another company, and decided it would be way more fun to do it on his own from Estes Park. He and a buddy each bought a van and a boat, and that was the humble beginning. He laughs when he talks about how they'd get up in the morning, drive people to the Colorado River, guide the boat, drive back, and then make sandwiches that night to do it all again the next morning. (He'd do it again in a heartbeat!) In the early 90s, the business expanded to the Cache La Poudre River. He now takes the same number of rafters in about two days that he took the entire first season! Needless to say, he doesn't get to guide the trips anymore but he does check in most trips. Come join us for our 30th season!
Specialties
We have offered family whitewater rafting trips from Estes Park for over 30 years. We are the only raft company based in Estes Park and we offer transportation to the river and back on every trip - every day. Never been rafting? You're our specialty. We'll guide you from beginning to end. We offer scenic half day rapids trips on the Cache La Poudre River daily. Or if you are looking for something a little more relaxed, our trip on the Colorado River is perfect for you. We even take you through Rocky Mountain National Park on the way to that river. Most customers tell us our trip was the highlight of their vacation. Estes Park is pretty spectacular, so that's saying something! Our season is mid-late May through Labor Day weekend.
