Rafting the Colorado River

This looks fun!  While growing up in Alaska, I did a ton of rafting – I miss that.  We just found out that you can rent kayaks and rafts in Moab for not much money, at least compared to what rentals cost in Alaska.  I don’t know if we will have time, but it is tempting!

Aww there’s always a little time for fun, Ron.

I think you’ll find the time. Great shot too! Makes me want to do some rafting!

Hey Ron,

I imagine rafting is much cheaper there. And the water warmer, too, eh?

Great photo.

Cheers

Carl

Thanks guys!

Yeah Carl, the water if much warmer here! Still a bit chilly for swimming, but nothing like Alaska water.

It looks like it would be fun, haven’t done much of that type of stuff

Looks like nice calm water — at this spot anyway. My rafting experience was on the Dinali. So glad the raft managed to stay upright. I wouldn’t have wanted to be in that cold water for any amount of time!

I have never done that trip, but I bet it is fun.

It was. Not a huge amount of white water but enough to be fun.
