Trips
- Experience the worlds finest whitewater river with a safe and professional 1, 2 or 3 day guided raft or kayak trip on the class V Upper Animas in incredible Silverton CO. Private boaters don't normally use commercial companies, however, when it comes to the Upper Animas, many private boaters do not have the experience or equipment to run such a difficult and continuous stretch of whitewater - and would be missing out if they let pride get in the way - it really is the best whitewater river in the West. Specifically the Upper Animas and Siberia are not to be missed! We do offer raft supported guided kayak trips on the Upper Animas for those with the skill but maybe want someone to carry their stuff and show them the lines.
10% discount for AWC members.
