Colorado, kayaking, rafting, and camping advice...
Starting a new job in a few weeks and I was thinking about taking a week to go over to Colorado. Never been and hear it is beautiful. I was thinking about doing some kayaking or rafting and some camping. The wife and I have never kayaked before so would you recommend doing this down some rapids? Or would you probably just go with a guide and a raft?

Do you have any suggestions on where to go in Colorado? I don't really have any gear so probably would like to go to something that provides all the gear. But I wouldn't be against purchasing some if need be. Any and all advice welcome.

Hanging Lake. If you see it, you'll understand the name.

It depends on what you mean by paved. The start of the hike is really quite rough, with huge granite blocks that you have to climb over. After that, it's pretty much a dirt trail until you get to the ascent up to the lake, which is now Trex decking stuff. Only a few hundred yards of that.

But, no, you aren't hacking down pines or anything. It's a very well-traveled hike.

w/w kayak i recommend taking the class where you'll learn to roll etc in water. you need to know how to do this if you want to ww kayak or you are asking for trouble.

river rafting is fun too, with a guide until you have navigational experience. need big water for the good fun, but it's a great "group" experience. y'all learn to "team" it. and, of course it is a drier experience than w/w kayaking is.
Excellent information. Thanks.

I think he's just talking about the Horse Tooth formation just west of Fort Collins. No rafting there, but there is nice hiking and climbing. Could also kayak on the reservoir, I suppose.

I remember calling it horsetooth canyon, it's actually called horsetooth reservoir, a beautiful area to visit, hike, camp fish in colorado. I was 14 when I was last there, but I forgot it's more important to cherry pick technicallities on CP. And since I was talking to the OP here's more information. I am sooo sorry scorpio, sorry you have nothing better to do.....

Not sure why you're getting butthurtt, just don't want to send OP on a wild goose chase looking for the fictional Horsetooth Canyon.

I can see why people don't like you.

Right, cause I typed a search for horsetooth Colorado and saw just what I wanted to find. Big wild goose chase. Calling you an idiot is not me being butt hurt, and only idiots don't like me.

And newphin, I laughed....

Just got back from zip-lining at Devil's Thumb Ranch. Had fun but I guess I was expecting a bigger rush than what I got.

Not to hijack my own thread but when I visited Mexico a couple of years ago we did some zip lines over some water that had crocs or alligators in it. I don't remember which. I ****ed up when I jumped off the launching point and flipped over backwards. Here I am hanging upside down over a bunch of reptiles hoping the harness holds. Luckily I got myself upright but I lost my brake so I came in the other side just flying. They had to deploy some sort of cushion thing on the line so I didn't snap my neck. Needless to say I had to clean out my shorts a little bit.

It helps to actually hold on to your harness before you jump you know.

Glad you came out without injury.
