Mountain Man Tours - Guided Rafting Trips in Colorado
Colorado Rafting & Kayak Trips on the Rio Grande River

   Mountain Man Tours, Inc was established in 1985 as the first Colorado rafting outfitter and guide service on the upper Rio Grande River. Our rafting, kayaking, mountain biking and hiking trips take place near Creede and South Fork, Colorado.

The stretch of the Rio Grande where we operate is a pristine high country river with class II-III rapids and breathtaking scenery.  June is the best time for whitewater action, but no matter what time of the season, the river has its own character and each rafting trip is as rewarding as the first.

We offer both Oar-Guided and Paddle-Guided rafting trips. If you choose oars, our guide will maneuver the raft down the river allowing you to relax and take in the scenery.  If you choose paddles, you will assist the guide by listening to his/her commands and paddling the raft.   Whatever you choose, we know how to make your Colorado rafting adventure fun!

Mountain Man Tours holds permits for the length of the Rio Grande River in Colorado. We tailor each guided rafting and kayak  tour to meet your needs, but generally plan trips to the section of river that we believe you will enjoy the most. River levels often dictate which section we run. At high water, we recommend that rafters wear our free rain gear and rent neoprene water boots (available as rentals in our river shop).

 

Our operations are licensed/permitted by the following agencies: - USDA National Forest Service - Colorado Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation (ROL#0144) - Colorado Division of Wildlife - Member Colorado River Outfitters Association - We are an equal opportunity service provider.
