Fort Collins Rafting Trips & Estes Park Rafting Trips on the Cache La Poudre River
Whitewater rafting vacations on Colorado’s only “Wild and Scenic River”
Mountain Whitewater is proud to have a special use permit from the Roosevelt National Forest. The permit guidelines keep river use low so that the Cache La Poudre (pronounced poo-dur) delivers an exceptional wilderness rafting experience. In fact, many Coloradoans consider it the best canyon and river in Colorado. Check out the Poudre page to find out how special Colorado’s only “Wild and Scenic” river really is, or just book a Fort Collins rafting or Estes Park rafting adventure and find out for yourself.
Conveniently located only about 80 minutes from Denver and Estes Park, the Poudre offers some of the closest, most exciting, and still somewhat unknown, whitewater rafting in the state. The river starts in the snow-capped peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park, then twists, turns, and tumbles through cliffs and rock spires. Its almost continuous class II, III, and IV rapids keep your adrenaline flowing. The chances to see eagles, deer, moose, black bear, mink and bighorn sheep will keep your eyes open.
Mountain Whitewater uses state-of-the-art rafting equipment and employs the most experienced group of guides on the river.
This is what whitewater rafting is all about in Colorado! Fun – Rapids – Scenery – Team Building – Excitement – Adventure – Family – Memories – Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
