Local Recommendations
The Upper Colorado river is a beautiful high desert landscape with runs ranging from flatwater cruises to challenging class V rapids. For visitors we recommend the Rancho Del Rio to State Bridge stretch of river. Only 30 minutes from Edwards, this stretch offers fun class II rapids in a manageable four mile run. Lots of great fishing, beaches and wildlife. Keep a lookout for Herons and Eagles.
Brands We Carry
This has to be one of the friendliest shops I’ve been to in the valley. They make you feel welcome, and no question is stupid. And they will spend extra time with you to make sure you feel comfortable with what you’re buying.
