Timberline Tours

Pioneering trips in Vail, Colorado since the 1970s, Timberline Tours stands as the region’s largest and most experienced outfitter for guided whitewater rafting and jeep tours. Three times voted Vail’s #1 Outfitter, the company serves visitors, locals, families, and corporate groups with a focus on safety and fun. Their senior staff averages more than 15 years of guiding experience worldwide, and the team includes former U.S. National Men’s and Women’s Whitewater Raft Team members, bringing a proud racing history to every excursion. Clients benefit from rigorous annual guide training and high-quality equipment, including river helmets, splash jackets, booties, and wetsuits when needed. The operation owns and manages two distinct boathouses: a headquarters in Eagle, situated on the Colorado River, and a rustic facility in Granite near the Arkansas River, which provides access to classic runs like The Numbers and Browns Canyon. With free consultations and licensed, insured services, Timberline Tours maintains a reputation for professionalism that extends from the office staff to the drivers and guides on the water.
