At Mountain Waters we believe that rafting is one of the funnest things you can do in the whole wide world. The joy of floating down a river or being challenged by difficult whitewater has created an insatiable passion in us that we want to share with you. We also have 4×4 Jeep Trail Tours & Mesa Verde National Park Tours as well as a fleet of affordable SUP & Bicycle rentals. And we have teamed up with the areas best outfitters to create money saving excursions and packages to go Zip Lining, Rock Climbing or experience the official Raft & Rail Package with the Durango-Silverton Train.
