The Gunnison River is the perfect place to introduce youngsters to Colorado canoeing, camping and the great outdoors. Reconnect with your kids away from TV and electronics and create some new memories. Bring the grandparents along too!

Our Family Paddle ‘n Games canoe trip was such a big hit last year, we are bringing it back! Your guides will engage the kids in a variety of games giving parents a "break from the action." Well, okay, the parents can play too. If you’re interested in playing games such as Dead Fish Polo, Ultimate Ninja, Win It in a Minute, Categories, Scavenger Hunt or just want to find out what they are all about, then join the trip for a lot of laughs and family fun.

Canoeing in Colorado on the Gunnison River will spark your sense of adventure with opportunities for hiking and exploring, floating in your lifejacket and camping along the river’s edge. During this Colorado canoe trip, you will be dwarfed by high walls of red sandstone and shale deposited during the age of the dinosaurs. These canyons in the Colorado Plateau are truly magnificent and not soon forgotten. Massive cottonwoods stand on many river bends supporting the huge nests of blue herons, hawks and eagles. You may hike into Dominguez Canyon, Colorado’s newest designated Wilderness Area, one of the most beautiful stops on the river. Hiking into the canyon will reveal deep, cool swimming holes, waterfalls and many ancient Indian petroglyphs (rock art panels). This 3-day trip is 31 miles filled with beauty and adventure!
