Toads Guide Shop, Montrose

Whether casting a line or navigating the churning rapids, the staff at Toads Guide Shop curate experiences that give visitors an unobstructed glimpse of Western Colorado's stunning scenery. Float through the Black Canyon of Gunnison Gorge during float and fish trips, during which guides lead groups toward lively fishing holes to reel in catches, and provide tents, meals, and equipment for those who opt to stay in the woods overnight. To stay closer to land, adventurers can angle for trout during fly-fishing sessions in the Pacochupuk Tailwater, or venture inland to hunt deer and elk. Daytime rafting expeditions of the Uncompaghre River take place over the course of up to three action-packed hours of splashing through rapids, maneuvering around obstacles, and shouting for momma.
