Our location in the 1800s pioneer town of Radium makes us the only locally owned rafting outfitter on the upper reaches of the Colorado River. Many of the older ranch buildings still stand, including the one room schoolhouse and the 100 year old barn that houses our donkey sanctuary. We've renovated the original ranch house as a meeting place and picnic area. Our Colorado rafting guests love coming early to picnic in Radium and visit our donkeys. Radium is a fun road trip along the Colorado Headwaters Scenic Byway from Vail, Beaver Creek, Steamboat Springs, Winter Park and Breckenridge.
Duckies (Colorado River only)
CThe two man inflatable kayaks known as Duckies are available on our Colorado River trips. The duckies are guided by our guests, with the rafts nearby to ensure safety. Duckies are fun and stable, and allow the more rambunctious participants to reach their quota of adrenaline for the day. Perfect for teenagers and those less concerned with consequences, duckies are available on the Colorado River on request.
