Three Rivers Rafting Trips in Almont! (30 mins from Crested Butte)- 888-761-3474

The Taylor River rafting trips offer something for every member of your group or family, from mild to wild. This is a scenic narrow river that meanders through the Taylor Canyon.

If you are lucky, you may even see elk, deer or an occasional black bear. All trips meet at Three Rivers Resort 30 minutes prior to trip time.

Current conditions: Perfect. River is dam-controlled and at THE PERFECT level for rafting- July 1, 2019.

They vary from the Float 'n Dine where you end up at Garlic Mike's for dinner, an easy, relaxing ride, to a pretty hairy ride on the Upper Taylor. Read about your options!

You will get very wet and this is only recommended for those with rafting experience or for the very adventurous. Minimum age is 12 years old with rafting experience.

Zip 'n Raft-

Take a zip line tour with Crested Butte Mountain Resort in the morning and then head down to our place for whitewater rafting on the Upper Taylor in the afternoon. This full day of adventure is a great value at just $111 pp ($113.24 with tax).  Save over $15 per person. The zip line tour consists of 5 zip lines, each progressively longer and faster. The tour does require a short hike up to the first platform so some measure of fitness is required, as well as closed toe shoes. Zip line participants must weigh between 70 and 250 lbs. The tour lasts for approximately 2 hours. There will be enough time for you to grab a quick lunch and then head south (about 25 minutes) to check in at Three Rivers Resort for rafting. Check in time is 12:45 pm. See the Upper Taylor raft trip description above. If you would like to upgrade to the Upper Taylor Extender, please let us know in advance and the rate will be an additional $20 pp.
