Far from the hustle and bustle of the capital city of Colorado lies one of the most beautiful towns in all of the country: Telluride. Right outside of Telluride you will find another hidden gem: the San Miguel River.

When you go on a San Miguel rafting trip, you’ll experience pristine wilderness as you switch between excited paddling and relaxed floating down the river. You’ll explore the rugged San Juan Mountains as you bond with family and friends. Great for beginners, families, and groups, San Miguel rafting in an experience not to be missed.

What is San Miguel Rafting Like?
San Miguel River rafting is full of class II and a few class III rapids. They’re spaced out, so you can enjoy some relaxed time on the water with your group. As you paddle down this narrow, twisting river you will find gorgeous geology and majestic wildlife. One minute Ponderosa pines will tower over you, and the next you’ll be staring up at high red rock walls.
The rapids provide just enough excitement for the adventure-seekers in your group, without being too intense for first-time rafters. Whether this is your first trip or you tenth, you will enjoy the unique and pristine San Miguel River.
What Else You’ll Find When You Raft the San Miguel River
San Miguel River rafting offers some of the best opportunities in the state to recharge and surround yourself with pristine mountain scenery. When you sign up for our 3-day river expedition, the class II and III rapids will make every day an adventure. What’s more, our certified guides will bring all of the camping equipment for you!
You’ll wake up to the rippling rapids and chirping birds as your certified guide cooks you a satisfying breakfast in the camp kitchen. Then you’ll spend the day soaking in the sun while you paddle down the twists and turns of the river. Enjoy crystal clear waters and a landscape that varies from lush green to rich red rocks.
