Upper Pine Guided Kayaking

A guided float down the beautiful stretch of Pine Creek known as “Upper Pine”.

The “Upper Pine” is a mild, scenic section of Pine Creek that flows West to East towards the North end of the Canyon. A trained PCO river guide will lead you down a meandering creek whose sights are equal to the beauty of the Canyon and offer a very unique experience. Look forward to a relaxing float with visuals including jagged cliffs, impressive creekside properties, and abundant wildlife.

This trip includes Class I-II rapids (depending on water level), beautiful scenery, and a personable/instructional tour guide. This trip is perfect for groups looking for a mid-day adventure and beginners looking to learn the basics. Allow yourself to relax knowing all the logistics are handled and focus on having a memorable experience with your family and friends on the Upper Pine.
