rafting vacations

[cad-guy]

greetings all....

this is not directly scout related, but I know that you guys could probably come up w/ some information.

 

My wife and I are thinking about taking the boys (12 and 14) on a white water rafting vacation. Does anybody here have any good experiences you care to share? We are looking for a place in Colorado, New Mexico area. 2 or 3 days float. I have found lots of internet information, but I would be more particularly interested in a place where someone has been, and could give me some feedback (good or bad). Anybody here recommend a place? Thanks for any info.

cad-guy,

 

Sorry, I can't help with Colorado or New Mexico white-water rafting. Now, if you were heading to Yellowstone, I can highly recommend Montana Whitewater http://www.montanawhitewater.com/ on the Gallatin River. They have a 23-mile trip with the last "mad mile" of Class IV and V rapids. Our troop used them in 2004, and they loved it.

 

Good luck. I'm sure some of our brothers and sisters west of the Mississippi will be able to help you.

Google for the local Councils in these areas, and give them a call....

 

In my neck of the woods, it would be the New River Gorge...best of luck
