AVA’s trips provide you access to some of the most special places in Colorado. We take pride in the experiences we offer to show folks like you the beauty of our surroundings and to share with you why we find them so valuable.
A river rafting trip, a zipline tour, a horseback ride, a rock climbing trip…they all allow you to experience the natural elements of Colorado. Whether you’re floating through a national monument or perched high atop a rock ledge, you’ll feel a world away. Screens are turned off; you can connect and focus on each other. Kids are entertained and awed. These are memories you’ll carry for a lifetime.
AVA offers several trips that provide this escape to nature through areas you can only see by river, such as Brown’s Canyon or the Upper Colorado River. Most of these river sections are not accessible by road. You’ll see and hear wildlife all around you. In 2015, Brown’s Canyon became a 21,000-acre National Monument to protect its canyons, forests and rivers. The Upper Colorado River has been identified as a potential federal Wild and Scenic river section.
Every AVA trip or tour takes place in the natural elements of Colorado. Choose from quick, half-day tours to 3-day overnight trips with camping and meals.
