(1)

We specialize in multi-day rafting trips on the Colorado, Green, Yampa, and San Juan Rivers. Since 1966, Holiday River Expeditions has provided trips to the West’s most spectacular places. We specialize in Colorado River Rafting trips, which encompass several different stretches of rivers throughout Colorado and the Rocky Mountain states. Our Colorado whitewater rafting trips run through the grand canyons of every major Colorado River tributary and offer spectacular scenery and landscapes unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else in the world. Our most popular Colorado River plateau river trips like Westwater Canyon, Lodore Canyon and Cataract Canyon provide exciting rapids and pristine wilderness in two, four and six day adventures.

What is the most unnecessary thing you bring on the river?

Tune in to hear what a few of our guests thought was unnecessary on the last day of their trip. 🤗

Disclaimer 1: this was a late July Westwater canyon trip during a very hot summer… usually bringing a jacket for when it gets cool at night is a great idea! Especially for our shoulder season trips and Lodore/Yampa/Deso

Disclaimer 2: this was only a 3-day trip. It might be a good idea to bring more than one outfit for our longer trips 😂
