Personally, I would ditch rafting and go to RMNP and hike Nymph, Dream and Emerald Lake. Eat lunch in the parking lot, then hike to sky Pond. The next day, or vice versa, drive Trail Ridge Road and do all the little hikes off of that.
Unless you're in great shape and used to hiking/running, etc., most people aren't going to be hiking to Emerald Lake (nice easy hike...3.5 miles rt, I think.) and Sky Pond on the same day. Sky Pond is a 9 mile hike and considered strenuous. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who can do this, but it's surely not easy to hike 12.5 miles in altitude.
