The Blue River is a treasure of the central Colorado high country. The river rises south of Breckenridge near Quandary Peak at 14,200 feet, and flows downward through the town of Silverthorne where our float begins. The river rushes through the White River National Forest, and the scenery surrounding the river is stunning, with tall trees and lush pasturelands. Sections of this pristine river are renowned for trout fishing, but we love the exciting class l to lll rapids (sometimes even class lV at high flows!) You'll see wildlife like bald eagles and osprey, moose, deer, and elk, or maybe a beaver. This river will not disappoint!
