Departing from downtown Durango, your guide will take you north of town and begin the journey down the lower Animas River, teaching you all about this incredible area while expertly leading you through sections of river with rapids ranging from class II-III+. With a minimum age of 4 years old, this really is a great trip for the whole family. These rapids are a unique adventure and your guides will make sure you have the best experience possible.

Halfway down the river, you will stop and take a short break at one of the various riverside picnic sites or parks. Water is provided and complimentary snacks are available. After you're finished snacking, you will continue the trip down the Animas to the final takeout.

Depending on the season, this trip can take you down through the beautiful Southern Ute reservation lands, with great opportunities to spot the diverse wildlife of Durango.
