Yampa River Rafting
The Yampa is the last undammed river in the Colorado River system. The best rafting occurs during May and June, when spring flows crank the rapids up to high adventure. Warm Springs Rapid is rated among the 10 biggest drops in the country. Miles of tiger-striped walls make this one of the most photogenic canyons around. Other attractions include side-canyon waterfalls, Ancestral Puebloan rock art and whispering caves. Click for trip rates + dates
