Three Rivers Outfitting Inc. operates out of Almont, Colorado, providing guided river adventures and equipment rentals on the Taylor River and surrounding waterways.
The outfitter offers a range of experiences including guided Upper Taylor whitewater rafting trips, the extended Upper Taylor Extender run, Lower Taylor scenic floats, inflatable kayak (“ducky”) options for Upper and Lower Taylor, and one-day watercraft and fishing rentals.
Trips include full equipment and round-trip transportation from Three Rivers Resort when noted, with splash gear, pads, and safety equipment provided. Fishing rentals supply fly fishing outfits, waders, and rods for anglers of all skill levels. Rafting and ducky excursions are led by knowledgeable guides and instructors; the most popular Upper Taylor runs feature whitewater rapids rated Class II–III and are suitable for guests aged 12 and up. Lower Taylor trips offer gentler Class I–II sections for families and relaxed floats.
Rental options include stand-up paddleboards, single and double duckies, and full-day pick-up and return flexibility. Many trips offer optional photography to capture the experience. Safety briefings, life jackets, and guidance are standard components of guided outings.
