Why River Rush?

River Rush was founded by Markie and Mike, two people who have a love for the water they want to share with as many people as possible.

On a real note, big corporations have long monopolized our rivers and taken advantage of guides, paying them barely livable wages. We are trying to re-invent our industry to return it to a passion for the outdoors where guides can be compensated fairly.

We are two small people trying to make something special where we can give back to the outdoors and those who cherish it the most. We are not the biggest company, we don’t have the most boats or all the huge busses and all that stuff, but what we do have is an incredible team of guides who are truly in this for the love of the rivers.

RRR Staff

Our staff is a family of highly-experienced river guides who do this for the love of the nature. Our people want to be outside as much as possible and share the incredible experiences of nature and all her power with others. Our staff is everything to us, without them, River Rush is nothing.

Get In Touch

My family goes rafting every year and River Rush is hands down the best in Colorado! Our guide was very knowledgeable, teaching us about river hydraulics on our trip, which was super cool to “feel” what he was explaining! My wife and I felt super safe with it being the kids’ first time & can’t wait to come back next year!!!
