Our History

Up Tha Creek Expeditions was started in 1996 by Rick Covington. With over 30 years of commercial rafting experience, Rick believed that the best way to operate the company was to actively participate on river as a guide. After fourteen successful years with Up Tha Creek, Rick has resigned, and in December 2010 Ryan Moyer took the reigns. Ryan moved to the Aspen Valley in 2007 from Pennsylvania. It didn’t take long for the river’s flow to bring these two paddlers together. After seeing the beauty of Colorado and its rivers first hand, and how Rick ran the company, it was an easy choice for Ryan when the opportunity came. Now with a great foundation and fresh new ideas, you can expect an unforgettable experience with Up Tha Creek Expeditions!
