The Taylor River is a favorite with locals and visitors alike! The Taylor is a fast, steep, technical river through a beautiful alpine canyon. With several different trips available, we’re sure you’ll find a trip you won’t soon forget. All our Taylor river trips meet at our conveniently located office, right on the Taylor River, and a short drive from either Crested Butte or Gunnison.
At our Taylor river office, you can rent a wetsuit as well as view professional photos of your adventure immediately after your trip. You’ll also find a great selection of t-shirts, hats and souvenirs. We also offer rock-climbing instruction and a zipline course right on the site!
