Book a Horseback or Whitewater Tour With Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides
In early June, Colorado is at its late-spring best. The temperatures are moderate, the snow is melting and feeding the rivers, and the flowers are just starting to bloom, making it an excellent time to book a horseback or whitewater tour with Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. Horseback tours will take you to the hills of Golden Colorado, only half an hour southwest of Boulder and Denver, where you’ll explore the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Our whitewater tours take place in Clear Creek Canyon, just an hour outside of Boulder and Denver or on the Arkansas River, further south where you’ll enjoy a safe by pulse pounding ride, which will take you through some of the most exciting waters in Colorado.
