Rafting is an activity that all ages can enjoy! On a raft trip, parents shouldn't have to choose between making the adults or making the kids happy. Young kids can ride in the raft with parents without the responsibility or the "rules" of paddling a raft. Teens can paddle as an equal with mom and dad and can share in the excitement of navigating the rapids. When enough teens are on a trip, a teen boat can be organized for a day or part of a day. Wilderness Aware guides are kids at heart and enjoy creating fun for families.

Our most popular trips are on the Arkansas River due to the wide variety of trip difficulties and trips lengths available. The Arkansas has a long season, beautiful mountain scenery, and is close to Denver and Colorado Springs. Centrally located in the state, the Arkansas is also an easy stop or side trip on most Colorado vacation itineraries. This appeal also makes the Arkansas one of the most popular rivers in the country. If you are looking for a remote wilderness trip, one of our other rivers could be a better choice.

If you would like to come rafting in May or June, consider the North Platte or Dolores Rivers which are both fantastic wilderness trips available during the Rocky Mountain spring snowmelt.

The Gunnison River is our most remote Colorado trip and a spectacular adventure for those looking for the ultimate backcountry adventure. A dam controlled river, this wilderness river is available from May through early September.

If your group has small children from 4 to 8 years old, or if grandma and grandpa are going along and want to avoid the bigger rapids, you might consider the class II Upper Colorado River or the class II Splash-N-Dash Family Rafting and Upper Bighorn Sheep Canyon trips on the Arkansas River.

The Salt River is the perfect springtime escape. Located near Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, this desert river is a favorite of our staff and has both one day and overnight trips of up to 5 days in length. We offer Salt River trips from March to early May.

Wilderness Aware will start a multi-day trip on any day of the week with a minimum of just 4 people. It only takes 2 people on some ½ and full day trips to start a new trip. We can steer compatible families toward dates already booked by other families.
