It's exceedingly rare when the owner of a rafting company ventures on the river, much less actually guides a commercial raft trip - but the exceedingly rare is precisely what you get with Up Tha Creek.

With over 25 years of commercial rafting experience, I believe the best way to operate my company is for me to participate as a guide which is what I love to do the most.
My role as a guide enables me to know exactly how your trip is being conducted and to fulfill your needs from my position in the captains seat.

My goal is to give you a first class whitewater experience that is expert, safe and action - packed, whether you are a first time rafter or an experienced paddler.

My ultimate reward is to provide you with some of the best memories you will ever have! ~ Rick Covington

Rick's Picks:

1. Slaughterhouse
   "I have been running this stretch for over 18 years now, it remains in my top five favorites in the nation".
2. Upper Colorado - Catamount to Dotsero
   "One of the best kept secrets around".
