River Description

The Colorado river flows from it's origin at Rocky Mountain Park through Kremmling working it's way west to the ocean. We float the stretches from below Gore Canyon to the Town of Rifle. These areas seem to have the most productive Trout waters and provide miles of excellent dry fly fishing during the summer months.
