Top Colorado Stand Up Paddleboarding

Buena Vista—or BV, as the locals say—sits right in the Collegiate Peaks, Colorado’s highest concentration of 14ers. The Arkansas River flows through it all, and on this tour, you’ll get to take in the views from the water, no experience required. Let your guide paddle your raft over bouncy wave trains and calmer sections of this wild river as you and your crew float through the beauty of central Colorado.

With this e-bike tour, you’ll get three things: you’ll get a sustainable, eco-friendly adventure through one of Colorado’s most beloved landscapes; you’ll get access to a local guide to better your experience; and you’ll avoid the parking hell that is Garden of the Gods. While everyone else is driving around begging for parking, you’ll be wandering these sandstone giants in the open air, communing one-on-one with Mother Nature.
