A true mountain river!

Rapids: Class II-IV

Set in a narrow canyon at over 8,000 feet, the North Platte River runs crystal clear with the power of melting snow from Rocky Mountain National Park and other mountain ranges. One of the last true discoveries of river runners, the Northgate section offers a combination of intense whitewater rapids like Northgate Falls, Stovepipe, Windy Hole, and the Narrows.

The trout fishing is hard to beat due to some highly inaccessible sections we raft through. The surrounding area has a long history of Wild West stories of cattlemen who have made millions from the fertile land and still run some of the largest cattle operations in the country in these valleys. Because of its mountain setting, it offers clear water, pristine river corridors, and solitude combined with the excitement of some of the best whitewater in the West.
