Colorado Adventures / Wilderness Aware Rafting

Enjoy a horseback ride at the base of the Collegiate Peaks near Buena Vista, Colorado, and America's most popular whitewater rafting river – The Arkansas. Located adjacent to America's newest national monument - Browns Canyon National Monument!

Colorado's second most popular outdoor activity is horseback riding - it's the perfect addition to your family vacation in the Rockies. Located in Buena Vista, a short day trip from Vail, Beaver Creek and Summit County resorts, these rides take you near the Arkansas River. Shorter rides follow a cottonwood lined creek with views of the valley's signature 14,197 foot peak, Mt. Princeton. The Chalk Cliffs flank the peak with sheer, craggy and impossibly white stone, unique to Colorado. Longer horseback rides climb the edge of adjacent 14.269 foot Mt. Antero. Most horseback rides are available year-round.
