Telluride Rafting on the San Miguel River: Full-Day Rafting

Your adventure starts in the morning at Caddis Flats Campground, where you'll meet your guide and receive your safety gear. Then hop on a shuttle for the ride to the San Miguel River, one of Colorado's lesser-known waterways, featuring twists, rolling rapids, and forested red-rock walls.

When you arrive, listen to a safety briefing before hopping on your raft, and then take off along the water, navigating continuous Class II rapids on the fast-flowing river — there will be plenty of paddling. Tackle the Class III rapids of Three Sisters and Saw Pit, and then stop on the riverbank for a deli-style lunch.

After eating, paddle through more Class II rapids before your tour ends with the shuttle ride back to your starting point, arriving in the late afternoon.

Enjoy an exhilarating one day rafting trip on Telluride’s lesser known San Miguel River. Encounter constant, splashy whitewater as you paddle through Class II “splashes” and Class III “wet and fun” rapids. The narrow waterway of the San Miguel winds through stunning red rock walls and green pine trees. Don’t forget to paddle while you take in the scenery.
