Each spring, a massive volume of snowmelt makes its way down from the high country, making Colorado a top river-rafting destination. Join the excitement of a whitewater raft trip on the famous Arkansas River, attracting more visitors than any other river on the continent as it passes through two spectacular canyons, including the famous Royal Gorge.
