FEATURED ATTRACTION:
ROCKY MOUNTAIN PADDLEBOARD
|
Grab your sunscreen and towel and head to
Union Reservoir to stand up paddleboard (SUP).
Rocky Mountain Paddleboard (RMP) offers Stand Up Paddleboard rentals, beginner instruction, SUP Yoga classes, kayak rentals, private parties, youth camps, and river/surfing instruction. RMP offers you a chance to try or perfect your SUP skills.
Stand up paddleboarding was created in Hawaii as an offshoot of surfing. Unlike surfing, paddlers stand upright on a surfboard and use a paddle to guide and propel them through the water. It has become a popular sport over the past few years due to the minimal equipment needed, the full body workout it provides, and the fun, relaxing challenge it creates. It's suitable for kids of all ages, so the whole family will enjoy a day out on the water.
RMP is open 8 a.m.-7 p.m. every day. Click

to make reservations, or call (720) 943.1132.
