Have some hot coffee at our outpost in the quaint town of Kremmling, CO, near the Rocky Mountain National Park to wake you up before launching onto the great Colorado River. This full-day float trip starts at the warm hour of 9:00 AM, when the birds, fish, and other wildlife are getting ready for a productive day near the water.
