As the story goes 15 years ago a guy moved to Denver and one of his friends who worked at a rafting company said that he should get a group together and come rafting. He had one problem, he did not know anybody, so he put out a post and that year a small group joined him and fun ensued. Over the years without any advertising, this has become an event happening twice a year with an intense June on the rapids and a less intense "float" in August which is the one I went on. While most of the people came from the Denver area, there were a number that came from across the country like New York and California.
This was a great mix of nature and fun with a great group of people. Along the way I got to see the Glenwood canyon closer than ever before which was amazing. We also saw a bear and bald eagles! The campground was great too! It was pretty close to everything and a few others stayed there too which was fun. In the boat I was in we had two doctors, a nurse, a claims adjuster and me, we figured that we were the boat most likely to survive if something bad happened. I also got a lot of great stuff for my project.
