Summer Fun
In the summer, when the snow melts, Colorado Discover Ability offers many different opportunities for outdoor adventure. Just as it is with our winter program, our summer program is based on offering the most independent experience possible for the individual or group while having fun and also learning a lot about themselves in the process.

Most of our trips are water-based adventures, including rafting, kayaking and adaptive water skiing. We also offer camping, hiking and bicycling trips. Our trips start at half-day river float trips and go all the way to a 13-day Grand Canyon raft trip. We have a full schedule of trips from May through October.

UPCOMING EVENTS
July 15, 2009  
River Float: Corn Lake to Blue Heron
Water-Based EventCorn Lake to Blue Heron River Float (4 hours) in rafts and inflatable kayaks.
The Colorado River, between Corn Lake (Clifton) and Blue Heron (Redlands Parkway), is called the Urban Route by locals. This stretch of river is full of wildlife, yet close to town. There are eagles, Blue Heron rookeries, ducks, geese, beavers, and deer crossing the river. This is a fairly flat stretch of river, where you can kick back and relax. At the confluence of the Gunnison and Colorado, past the 5th Street Bridge, kayakers surf the wave during peak water flow.
