Rafting on the Colorado River While Camping at Ami's Acres

 

When perfect, sunny weather and refreshing (well, if 50 degrees sounds refreshing) water temperatures combine in Glenwood Springs, consider booking an adventurous and gorgeous trip on the Colorado River.

We did and were very pleased with the entire experience. Our guide, Sonny, who just happened to be a fellow Louisiana native, was thorough, reassuring, knowledgeable, and so much fun!  

We arrived a bit early and were greeted by wonderful people and a few furry pals. As we enjoyed a snack and downtime before heading out, Cannon made a new friend. This may not seem like much to most, but considering he is not usually fond of the canine variety, it was a big deal.

Once briefed and suited with PFDs, we loaded up with a few new friends and were off to the drop-off point. 

On the water and we're off!

We were able to drive right on over to this amazing whitewater rafting outfit while parked at a great campground offering a mountain view.

Bonuses included frequent train sightings right from the window as they wrapped around the mountain along the river and precious little creatures coming around to say hi.

Although the time had come to move on, it is highly unlikely we'll ever forget our time spent in Glenwood Springs!
