Colorado River Rafting
Cataract Canyon rafting is an anomaly. Its rapids rank along with those of the Grand Canyon in power and difficulty. In fact, the river becomes unruly during the run off in May and June.
Salmon River Rafting
There is a green hole in the middle of Idaho. A spot refreshingly empty on your highway map. A place where pavement never was…and wild rivers still are…the Salmon River- The River of No Return.

Remember that feeling as a kid of seeing one of your elementary school teachers outside the classroom for the first time, in the grocery store or the bagel shop? “What! They have a life outside the brick and mortar of school?” I think this is how my kids might feel if they ran into one … Read more
This past summer on the Yampa River, I was both inspired and humbled. Not just by the forces of the water coursing through Mother Nature’s veins during this record high water year, but by another woman. Roswitha arrived solo. Nobody knew her age, but the more we witnessed her golden attitude (“mosquitoes are small problems”) and her can-do stamina (‘”you bet I’m going on this hike”), the more we wondered just how many years of wisdom had this woman racked up.
