When it comes to Colorado whitewater, hardly anyone knows about the San Miguel River. Which is kind of a surprise! Given how much fun it is, on top of being in proximity to bougie and beloved Telluride. The rafting section is gorgeously scenic, exciting for all experience levels, and pretty much a must if you want to spend the afternoon like a local. Its red sandstone canyon juxtaposed by flourishing pine forests make for a picturesque setting to recreate on this Rocky Mountain river. Anyone who loves the outdoors will have an absolute hoot on this tour, whether it’s your first or hundredth time rafting. Just ask our guides, most— if not all!— will agree that the San Miguel is their favorite river to run.

These journeys are some of the most beloved and sought-after adventures in the Rocky Mountains, and the views and rich character from the road itself are enough to prove why.

Luckily, anyone can experience the awe inspiring views, abundant wildflowers, and high alpine wildlife on our Telluride Jeep tours. Our guides are highly experienced Jeepers as much as they are incredibly knowledgeable interpreters. They’ll take care of the driving while providing more insight into the wild history of this area than you’ll know what to do with.
