If you have never been rafting, you have missed out on one of the great joys of life. There is nothing like meeting the white water of a flowing river with just a piece of rubber between you and a fast paced float through rocks. Rapids are nature’s roller coasters, and every adrenaline junkie should try them out. You could do worse than rafting in Colorado for your first experience.

Fear of Water
The best thing about
going on a guided rafting adventure is that they do everything they can to make
sure that everyone in the group is safe. Even if you are afraid of water, you
can take advantage of the glorious opportunities that a rafting trip provides.
By facing your fear head on, you may even find yourself getting over your fear
and ready to take on an activity like surfing.
Beyond the Water
A rafting trip doesn’t
have to be just a trip down the river and through some white water. It can also
be a camping adventure that provides an overnight place to sleep, some great
food, and an exceptional view of things that other mere mortals wouldn’t get to
see. Even if you are taking just a day trip, you will be treated to views that
most people will miss. Canyon walls, wildlife, and the calm and peace of the
water are all things that you can experience in between the rapids.
Amusement Parks
Many amusement parks
have tried to capitalize on the idea of rafting. They put eight or 10 people in
a giant inner tube and send them down a fake rapids system – the best of which
tell a story and have water guns for friends and family to shoot at riders on
the flumes. However, an amusement park cannot compete with the beauty and
danger of rafting in Colorado. While
the outfitters will make the trip as safe as possible, this is one area where
you can face one of the greatest of all storylines. It is man versus nature,
and your participation is required. This is no passive ride system, even if it
is safer than facing the rapids on your own.
