Best Slope Adventure Co
Discover the freedom of paddling your own inflatable kayak on calm reservoirs and rivers with Best Slope Adventure Co. Perfect for all levels, this trip offers self-guided exploration in a stunning natural setting.
Best Slope Adventure Co is an outdoor recreation provider offering guided whitewater and paddle experiences on several regional rivers. The company runs a mix of guided and rental options that include half-day whitewater on the Lower San Miguel, full-day and multi-day trips on the Lower Gunnison (Dominguez-Escalante routes), and shorter guided floats on the Uncompahgre River.
Trips are available as raft or kayak options, with specialized offerings such as inflatable kayak excursions and sit-on-top tandem and single kayak rentals. Rental inventory also includes stand-up paddleboards (SUP) and river tubes for self-guided explorations. Guided trips span gentle Class I-II floats suitable for families and youth groups to more active Class II-III sections for intermediate paddlers.
Best Slope Adventure Co provides all-inclusive packaged options on select multi-day trips—meals and gear are included for overnight Dominguez-Escalante journeys—and supplies guided instruction on booked guided floats. The operation highlights scenic canyon paddling, wildlife viewing, swimming stops, and interpretive opportunities such as the Eagle Rock Shelter petroglyph area and hikes in Big Dominguez Canyon.
By offering a broad range of trip lengths (half-day, day, and 2-day) and both guided and unguided equipment rental options, Best Slope Adventure Co serves families, groups, and independent paddlers looking for curated river experiences and flexible self-guided adventures.
