the Rocky Mountain Canoe Club's

The Rocky Mountain Canoe Club is an organization for paddlers in the Colorado area covering all aspects of paddle sports from flat water to white water with an emphasis on the open canoe.

RMCC trips are cooperative adventures shared by members and their guests. The entire group is collectively responsible for the trip, and each participant is individually responsible for judging his or her own qualifications, skill level, and safety on the rivers being run. The trip coordinator may refuse to allow a participant on a trip, but the responsibility for judging one's own qualifications lies solely with each trip member.

Call in advance! Trips can fill up. Coordinators need time for planning.

To add trips and events to the schedule, or to make changes, please click on the following link to send us a message. Please include information for each column, and keep everything very brief! Announcements are limited to club-related trips and events, or boating events of some interest to canoeists. If you would like to show the flow gauge, please include a working link or station number. Send Announcements Alternatively, you may send announcements directly to our Trip Coordinator: Ken Bauer     303-684-2952
