This trip launches beneath the dramatic Cotopaxi cliffs at a convenient riverside base. You will begin the trip in easy water to give you time to form a competent paddle crew (or passengers in an oar boat.) Floating past spectacular geological formations and views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range we run exciting Class II-III rapids like Texas Creek, Maytag, and Devil's Hole.
After a delicious buffet lunch you will plunge into more demanding and technical rapids (Class III-IV): Prelude, 3 Rocks Falls, Spikebuck and Shark's Tooth to name a few. This trip is suitable for first timers or experienced rafters with great views and lots of adventure. Sightings of bighorn sheep are very common in this section. Don't miss out on a full day of fun in Bighorn Sheep Canyon Colorado.
Duration: 6+ hours in total, 4 to 5 hours on the water
