Colorado whitewater rafting on Clear CreekThe record snowpack this winter has left Colorado in great shape for whitewater rafting. Even though it is still snowing in some parts of Colorado and mother nature is determined to keep the water frozen in her grips, it looks like not even she can prevent the inevitable snow melt and run off.  In preperation for heavy snow melt, most of the reservoirs are releasing water to make room for what could be the highest run off season in memory. This has dranages such as the Arkansas River, Colorado River and the Blue River  running at wonderful flows for this time of year.  Early starts to these rivers are making rafting in early May a pleasent surprise.  The heavy snow melt should also result in a longer than normal whitewater rafting season with good water flows lasting throughout August and into mid September.   So get the troops ready and plan to take advantage of an epic rafting season. �
