We had a great time with Up Tha Creek. They were very professional and everything was better than promised. Our group consisted of four kids ages ranging from 4-12 plus six adults. Up Tha Creek accomodated everyones wishes of using rafts, double kayaks and single kayaks so everyone was happy and we were still able to raft as a group.... More

I was able to join up with some friends and raft Gore Canyon with Up Tha Creek. The trip was phenomenal itself and our guide, Ryan, made it even better. He was very safety oriented and remained calm even when the thrill was overwhelming. If you are looking for class IV and V rafting, this is the company to go... More

There aren't many people I would feel comfortable with going through Gore Canyons class 5 rapids, but I felt completely comfortable the whole way through.. We took perfect lines and our guide, Ryan, knew exactly what to do in every situation.. Overall it was an incredible trip and I highly recommend using Up Tha Creek..

Thank You for your business and most of all for your candid comments. We are happy you felt comfortable in the raging Class V waters of Gore Canyon with us! Though Gore Canyon is the best whitewater available in Colorado, please don't forget us in the future. Variety of trips is one thing that separates us from other outfitters in... More

As a fellow rafting guide this trip was incredible. If you're looking for a high skill, high adventure trip this is the place to be. I could not imagine having a better guide than Ryan. He knows the river and even does completions on it. He is superb. You need to be comfortable swimming big water as well as comfortable... More

So glad I rented a tube from these guys. Quality tubes that are durable, fun, and most importantly keep your butt afloat! Rented the tube, lifejacket, and river shoes for the day with my buddy. The bike shop guys gave us a shuttle to river so we could leave our car at the end. It worked out great! At the... More

The entire experience from Up Tha Creek Expeditions was great. We were coming from Redstone, CO and parked in the Brush Creek Intercept and the guides were there waiting for us. It was perfect that there were three of us and we decided to do the Slaughterhouse Falls, Class IV rafting trip. It was my first time rafting, but the... More

Three of us enjoyed a 2-hour class 3 rafting trip on Roaring Fork River. Guide/owner Molly Ballensky explained procedures clearly and made our trip a delight. The river was very scenic and had the right amount of rapids for me.

We did Slaughterhouse Falls with Up Tha Creek. They provided everything, even wetsuits and splash jackets--all we had to do was show up. The guides were competent, professional, and made our run very enjoyable. All this for a very good price. I'll definitely look them up again when I am in Glenwood Springs.

Our family of 4 (two adults and two kids 9 and12) had an absolutely wonderful time. Since we hadn't been white water rafting before we were a bit nervous to say the least. Molly took us on a ride that was perfect! Just the right balance of excitement. We did alot of things like the Advenure Park and Caverns and... More

This was my second experience with Up tha Creek Expeditions. I can't say enough about the guides and supporting staff. Everything was on time, organized and very professional. They provided us with plenty of gear to stay comfortable in the freezing spring waters of the upper roaring fork. The water was pretty high but our guide was very experienced and... More
