Whitewater rafting in Colorado, Wyoming?

[midwest kristy]

We are planning a road trip from Milwaukee to the NP of Yellowstone, Rockies, etc. with a final destination to participate in a whitewater rafting experience with class III-IV rapids. Any suggestions on rivers, rafting companies, and also how long to allow for this type of driving trip?

It's about 1350 miles from Milwaukee to Yellowstone, this should take about 2.5 days. From Yellowstone to Denver is 580 miles which would be a big stretch trying to do that in 1 day (secondary roads), but it could be done. I picked Denver simply as a point of reference.

Hi Kristy, welcome to the R.T.A. forums !

The amount of time to allow will depend on how long you want to spend at the wheel each day and what [if any] sight seeing you wish to do. glc has given you an idea of the minimum amount of time with no major stops and long days.

I have no idea about white water rafting companies and I am not sure you will get that info here but plenty turned up when I googled "colorado white water rafting" including this one so I would just search for price comparisons and locations and see what best suits your needs.

If we can help you with other aspects of your trip let us know.
