No Matter where you live, Out Door expeditions are healthy and fun

 

Let's take a minute and take some deep breaths.  Maybe you're in your home, office, or maybe outside.  Maybe you live next to a busy highway, or work in a busy city. 

Now imagine sitting underneath a canopy of green tree branches and leaves, floating quietly down the Colorado river. 

 

Well, you won't be QUIETLY floating, it is a pretty rough ride.  And you won't just be floating......

 
YOU"LL BE WHITE WATER RAFTING BABY!!!

No matter if you live in an area where you can't get outdoors often, one trip down a white water river in Utah, Idaho, or Colorado will make up for months cooped up indoors.  So when it's summer time, head out West.

It's time for the last call to Colorado River Rafting 

Colorado is experiencing some of the best runoff it's ever seen in the past few years. Which of course means the best white water rafting. Although there has apparently been some dispute over some of the water's in Colorado:

In early June, four kayakers were arrested and cited with criminal trespass on the South Platte River about ten miles upstream from Cheesman Reservoir. Gordon Banks and Dave Eckardt, authors of the popular guidebook Colorado Rivers and Creeks, and their companions were kayaking on the river through a fishing club called Sportsman's Paradise when they were arrested by local sheriff's deputies.

Also in early June, riparian landowner Yosi Lutwak filed suit against Cannibal Outdoors rafting company, seeking to prevent the company from conductiung raft trips through his ranch on the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River.

* Click here to go to the new NORS river law folder, Boating Rights on Rivers in Colorado, which explains public rights to canoe, kayak, and raft in Colorado, including scouting and portaging, and riparian landowner rights to build cattle fences and irrigation diversion dams, as long as they provide a boat chute or portage route around any structures they build.

Visit Holiday Expeditions to learn more about Colorado River Rafting trips available to you.

My latest trip 

I made up a new slang word for when you get those little rocks in your raft. I call them scooby snacks. Utah river rafting has taken it's toll on me this summer. I live in Utah, so it's not much of a trip, but if you are making the trip down, make sure you bring your sunscreen. It' supposed to get past 100 degrees this 4th of July Weekend.

Another Trip 

What would we ever do without Colorado. I heard a Weird Al song that was making fun of a Rage Against the Machine song, and some of the lyrics said "I'll sue Colorado, cuz it looks a little bit too much like Wyoming". So at least SOMEONE knows that Colorado is cool, I guess.....

White Water on Wikipedia

Whitewater is formed in a rapid, when a river's gradient drops enough to disturb its laminar flow and create turbulence, e.g. form a bubbly, or aerated and unstable current; the frothy water appears white. The term is also used loosely to refer to less-turbulent but still agitated flows.

The term "whitewater" also has a broader meaning, applying to any river or creek itself that has a significant number of rapids. The term is also used as an adjective describing boating on such rivers, such as whitewater canoeing or whitewater kayaking.
