Afternoon Telluride Rafting Trip

The Telluride Rafting Afternoon Half Day Trip

Rafting the San Miguel’s Afternoon Half Day Trip in Telluride is all about keeping it high-class— rapid wise anyway! If you’re looking for a short-term adventure to brag about until the of time, this is definitely the Colorado quest for you.

Be ready for phat splashes to the mug as you drop into Class II and III holes one after the other. In between the San Miguel’s ferocious (yet surprisingly friendly) froth, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy a well-deserved rest. The calmer sections of this trip let you put down the paddle, soak in the beauty of Norwood Canyon and peruse the banks for sociable river otters.

This stretch of the San Miguel is a bit more mild than the upper section as it widens out of the canyon, but the rapids tend to be more consistent. By the end of afternoon, you’ll have conquered one of the most elusive rivers in the region, despite its proximity to bougie and beloved Telluride.
