NIGHT VISION RAFTING TRIPS

Lakota River Guides offers the only Night Vision Rafting Trip in the country.  Experience Twilight like you never have before, floating down Class l and ll water with sounds of beaver tails slapping the surface of the water as the sun drops below the mountain horizon.  The sweet fragrance of the river corridor envelops you as you sense the wonder of being "out there."  As stars emerge, observe and learn constellations.  Night Vision monoculars offer an entirely different dimension to the outdoor night world.  Experience the grandeur of the night sky, the scent of pines and wildflowers, and the possibility of sighting some of Colorado's native animals. This is Lakota Guides' version of a "wild night life!"


As seen on CNN, ESPN, in the Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Denver Post, National Geographic and NPR. 

Glenwood Canyon offers up some fun and exciting Class III rapids!  We know running rapids named Tombstone, Rock Gardens, and Maneater once is not enough, so after we run this 2 mile long stretch (called the Shoshone Rapids) once, we'll run them two more times!

3-Peat offers nothing but action.  There will be a quick shuttle ride in between the rafting stretches to drink water.  

Hands down, THIS is our most popular summer raft trip.  The 1,450-mile Colorado River flows through 5 states and two countries, including the Grand Canyon in Arizona and Lake Mead (formed by the Hoover Dam).  Come raft this majestic river through the Glenwood Canyon, one of the 3 canyons the Colorado Rivers formed in the state!  Canyon walls over 1,000 feet tall tower above you as you raft the exciting, family friendly Shoshone Rapids!  The Class III Rapids ease into a mellow trip interspersed with Class II whitewater.  Swimming opportunities arise on the second part of this trip, with the cool water inviting you to take a break from the warm Colorado air.  This is a great trip for the young and young at heart!

A gourmet lunch provided by Dish Restaurant and Eat Drink  will be waiting for you at the Take Out, located in Two Rivers Park.
