Colorado made the ‘best water adventures’ list thanks to the great whitewater rafting found around the state. Routes in Colorado range in difficultly from beginner to expert with different routes delivering different experiences, from scenic trips for the casual rafter to physically demanding routes for the thrill-seeker.
In Cañon City, a rafting trip with Royal Gorge Rafting and Zipline Tour ranked 10th on the list. Tours here travel the Arkansas River, far beneath the rim of the Royal Gorge. It’s one of the most scenic rafting trips around.
