  • “We found Revolution Rail on a road trip through Colorado and are so glad we detoured to South Fork! The Pedals to Paddles trip was a highlight—fun rail biking up and a peaceful rafting float back down with our awesome guide, Erik. Memorable, relaxing, and worth every mile!”

    — Diane P. Pedals to Paddles

  • “What a great find! We booked the Pedals to Paddles tour with 16 family members, ages 6 to 70, and everyone had a blast. It was our first time rail biking, and I highly recommend it to anyone. The scenery was gorgeous, and the kids loved the rafting, complete with water gun battles that made it even more memorable. Truly a fun experience for all ages!”

    — Hayley R. Pedals to Paddles

  • “This was a lot of fun! We booked a Pedals to Paddles Tour, and it was well worth it. Everyone is friendly and helpful, the views are fantastic, and the raft ride back down was more fun than I've had on my vacation so far. 10 out of 10!!”
