Rafting in Durango, CO

[DeeBliss56]

Is the river too rough for a 14 year old who swims well? Any rafting company recommendations? We will be there for most of the summer starting in a few weeks.

Hi Dee,

If you just walk along Main Ave in Durango you will see many rafting outfitters that cater to the tourists coming in. You can also grab a flyer for some in any of the Hotel Lobbys. Also, the welcome centers on Main or a bout 2 miles south at Santa Rita park can point you in the right direction. Although the Animas River is not a particularly rough stretch early in the season it can get nasty from snow melt in the mountains. Check with the outfitters in regards to your 14 year old. Have fun!
