A Wanderlust Adventure offers fantastic Boulder whitewater rafting trips on the Cache La Poudre River. Our meeting area just north of Fort Collins offers the closest and best whitewater rafting to Boulder. It takes about one hour to drive to our location. The scenery and the rapids in the Poudre Canyon are well worth the drive. We raft on the Cache La Poudre River, the only National “Wild & Scenic” River in Colorado. Unlike other pool and drop rivers in Colorado, the Poudre careens down a narrow canyon with almost continuous rapids. Stay alert for wildlife like deer, merganser ducks, bald eagles, big horn sheep and black bear.

We offer mild to wild Cheyenne whitewater rafting trips for families and thrill seekers alike. Our Class II/III Taste of Whitewater Trip is great for families with youngsters ages 7 years old and up, while our Blast of Whitewater Trip is one of Colorado’s most action-packed sections of Class IV whitewater for enthusiasts aged 14 or older. Some of the highlight rapids on our rafting trips include Pinball, Rollercoaster, Killer Bridge, Twin Pin, Cardiac Corner, Tunnel Slam, Sonic Boom, and Pineview Falls. Plan your vacation during the last 10 days in July so that you can enjoy the world’s largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration at the Cheyenne Frontier Days.
Cheyenne Frontier Days is packed with over a week of rodeo, concerts and western history. Our meeting area in Fort Collins is less than an hour drive from Cheyenne Frontier Days. Ride the rapids on the Poudre River and feel the excitement and adrenaline that the cowboys experience in the rodeo.
