RIDE THE WILD WAVE- THE FINAL DAYS!

Ride the Last of the Runoff: Final Rafting Days Are Here!

Summer is in full swing in Pagosa Springs—sunshine, blue skies, and warm mountain air are here to stay. But while summer vibes are still going strong, the San Juan River is starting to calm down. The snowpack that feeds our beloved river has nearly finished its journey downhill, which means we’re heading into the final days of the rafting season.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to raft… this is it.

The River Is Still Flowing—But Not for Long

Every spring and early summer, the San Juan Rivercomes to life thanks to the snowmelt from the surrounding peaks. And just like that, the river starts to slow as the last of the snow disappears into the sunshine.

Right now, the flows are still steady—just enough to make for a fun, splashy ride, but mellow enough for families and first-timers to feel totally at ease. These final trips are some of the most beautiful of the year:

  • Sunny skies and warm water

  • Smaller group sizes

  • Golden lighting and fewer crowds

There’s a certain magic to these last few floats, and we’d love for you to be part of them.
