My first great adventure of Rafting in Colorado was in 2003 with my family on the Colorado River in sunny Colorado. It was my grandfather's 70th birthday and we came together to surprise him for an adventure of family, style and fun in the beautiful vistas lit by the Colorado sun. All of us had the best time in a raft on the Colorado river. The summer's afternoon heat wore down on us as we went into two rafts. The river guides matched the beautiful scenery along the swift early summer current of the river.Of all of the times I have driven to the southern part of Colorado, we've always driven through Buena Visa and Salida - the hot spots for Colorado White Water Rafting. Yet, I had never been on a Colorado rafting trip of my own in a boat loaded with savvy guides and a great group of people. The time spent in the raft, laughing, paddling and floating all along the rivers bends and falls was the highlight of my summer vacation. Our group trip created some of the best memories of time spent with my family in the wilderness.Between the two rafts brimming all of us on the family trip, we covered the range of skill levels as much as we spanned the range of age from my youngest cousins to my grandfather at 70. Luckily, this group trip wasn't an extreme trip! Our day was full of excitement on our "mild" water run and we loved our lunch at our stop on the way. We learned the correct ways to navigate the waters and paddle from the best river guides ever.Our raft guides were skilled and experienced and spent their summers on the river many summers over, and their bright personalities shone through their river tanned bodies and fit right in with the family. The shared many stories from elite rafting trips they have led, of high class rapids they had run, and entertaining tales from their lives devoted to the rivers of Colorado. Their knowledge of the way of the river made us all feel at ease in our rafts and kept us in great spirits with all the laughter and water play in the slower parts of the river. Everyone involved was happy and it was a day for the memory books. The day trip on the Animas River made me want to explore even more family adventures on other rivers in Colorado, like the Arkansas River, Colorado River, Dolores River, Gunnison River, and North Platte River. I should need to plan more river adventures with family? I know for certain that my experience in a raft on a Colorado River was one of the best adventures of my life, and a new way to experience and become aware of the wilderness in colorful Colorado.
