Stay out of the water this winter with our Colorado land-based adventures.
Yes, we’re a rafting company, and yes, we love the river. But since the weather’s still too chilly for planning Colorado white water rafting trips—and if you’re looking to explore the Rockies on more solid ground—don’t miss the other adventures Wilderness Aware Rafting has to offer. Our guide-led jeep tours, horseback trail rides and mountain bike tours guarantee that we have what you’re looking for.
Horseback Trail Rides
If you want to hit the trail but you’re over hiking, we have the solution. Saddle up on one of our Colorado horseback rides and let us help you discover why horseback riding is this state’s second most popular outdoor activity. The closest horseback rides are located near the Arkansas River, with our shorter rides following a cottonwood-lined creek with views of the valley’s majestic Mt. Princeton and our longer horseback rides climbing the edge of adjacent Mt. Antero. Additional horseback riding options include trips over beautiful forest service land northwest of Leadville and along the base of Pike’s Peak in Colorado Springs.
Whether you want to thrill your child with a 30-minute pony ride, take the whole family along for an hour on a horse-drawn wagon ride, or spend a full day exploring Colorado on horseback, we can make it happen. Horseback rides require a minimum of two people to sign up, and most trips run year-round, making this a great option for cooler weather. Check out our Colorado horseback riding trips today, and we’ll see you on the trail.
Mountain Bike Tours
Want to get a little closer to the ground? Take one of our Colorado mountain bike tours and prepare for the ride of a lifetime. Fun for beginners as well as experienced mountain bikers, this trip comes in two options. The first is a downhill paved road from 12,000 feet on the Continental Divide, where you will experience spectacular views of the Arkansas River Valley’s numerous 14,000-foot tall peaks as you soar through pristine aspen groves and high mountain pine forests alongside one of our experienced mountain bike guides.
The second option is exploring the historic Midland Railroad Grade, a quiet mountain dirt road and single track trail that winds past stunning views of the 14,000 ft. Collegiate Peaks. The dirt trail option brings the pace down a notch and lets you enjoy the surrounding beauty of the Colorado Rockies while incorporating some technical bike maneuvering. Whether you’re on your bike every weekend or this is your first time mountain biking in Colorado, we have a set of wheels for you.

Jeep tours
For a safari-style tour of the Colorado Rockies, nothing beats one of our Colorado jeep tours. On one of our half-day trips, you can discover groves of ancient bristlecone pines nestled at the top of Mt. Princeton or visit the unique ghost town of St. Elmo. Or, take a full day and ride up a rugged switch backed trail to the summit of Colorado’s Mt. Antero, one of the best areas in the United States for mineral and gem collecting. Whichever trip you choose, our jeep tours guarantee to give you an unforgettable adventure—and leave both your hands free for picture-taking. Book a Colorado jeep tour today!
