Hi,

I hope everyone is well!

Has anyone been white water rafting? I'm going this weekend and would love to hear any of your experiences! This is my first time. I'm really looking forward to it!
Thanks so much in advance.

I've done some canoeing...not really white water stuff. I do have one suggestion. When you get to the place where you start your trip, talk to the people who rent you the rafts. They can give you a map of the river. They will tell you the best way to proceed at any given point on the river (like stay to the left here, etc...)

Also, they can update you on the water conditions on the day that you go.

Some people just grab the boats and go without getting the ins and outs of the river.

Who are you going with?? I hope you have lots of fun.

I have white water rafted the Royal Gorge in CO - was some time ago. I loved it - the guides were great - had us all working like pros in no time. The scenery was gorgeous - bring water and sunscreen. Enjoy!
