JOIN US FOR NATIONAL
PUBLIC LANDS DAY

We’re heading back to the Upper Colorado River for the 5th year in a row to celebrate National Public Lands Day—and this year is going to be BIG! In addition to the incredible event we have planned, we’re excited to welcome A Brother’s Fountain for a live performance on Saturday evening following the cleanup.

So join us on Saturday, September 26th for an unforgettable day of river stewardship, community, celebration, and live music! Camping is free all weekend at Pumphouse, and Saturday is the main event. We’ll kick off the day with a river cleanup (multiple stretches available), then come together in the evening for BBQ, free beer, and live music from A Brother’s Fountain.

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or returning for more, we can’t wait to see you on the river.

Registration will open on May 11th!

RSVP

Registration will open on May 11th.

This year we're going to have people register for different sites so we can spread out volunteers and make a bigger impact. All of the cleanups will start and end around the same time so everyone can join the after party at Pumphouse on Saturday evening!

Please note, you must have your own boat or confirm a seat in a friend's boat in order to participate on-water. Otherwise join us on land!I

ON-LAND

Trash that starts on land ends up in the water and we need a strong land-based crew to help clean up the roads and trails near the river. Help us clean up along the Colorado Headwaters National Scenic and Historic Byway and stop trash before it gets into the Colorado River!

ON-WATER STRETCH 1

PUMPHOUSE TO RADIUM

Pumphouse to Radium is a 4 mile stretch with two Class II rapids, and one Class III (Needle's Eye). Each year we find a little less trash —but it still needs our care. We’ll focus on micro-trash, leftover charcoal, and dismantling abandoned campfire rings to help keep this well-loved section beautiful.

ON-WATER STRETCH 2

RADIUM TO RANCHO

This is a 6-mile float with two Class II rapids and one Class III rapid (Yarmony) If you are up for spending a little more time on the river and clearing out what others have left behind, join us for this stretch!

ON-WATER STRETCH 3

RANCHO TO STATE BRIDGE

Colorado River Outfitters has cleaned up this stretch in previous years, and this year we’re opening it up so you can join! This is a scenic 4-mile float featuring just one mild Class II rapid. It’s a great option for families with kids or those who really want to dig in and come back with a large trash haul.
