The Dolores River is America’s Most Classic Paddling Experience
There is so much more to the Dolores River than great white water rafting and kayaking. The Dolores River Basin stretches all the way from western Colorado to New Mexico, and along the way you’ll experience incredible wild lands that make for an incredible back-country hike once you’ve parked your rafts and head out on dry land.
Walk in the footsteps of the Anazasi people and discover ancient ruins and petroglyphs as you hike the Dolores River basin.
Backcountry hiking through the Dolores River canyons
Not only is the Dolores River one of America’s most classic paddling experiences, but the miles and miles of unbroken scenery. The river runs deep in the treasured San Juan Mountains – one of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks and you’ll get to see everything from alpine forests to red rock canyons. When it comes to rafting, fishing and hiking the Dolores is not to be missed.
