The Number One Whitewater Rafting Destination in the United States

Whitewater Rafting Destination #1

And the award goes to, drum roll please…The Colorado River in Grand Canyon!

The Colorado River, which snakes a total of 1450 miles between America’s Southwest and northern Mexico has a particular stretch of river 280 miles long, known as the most ultimate whitewater rafting haven of the Americas. No whitewater rafting enthusiast can call river life complete until having rafted the mighty Colorado River through its ultimate region – the majestic Grand Canyon. This colossal river offers a little bit of everything for every type of person and personality. Adrenaline junkies and nature aficionados alike fall in love with the river’s splendid variation, which intermittently plunges them through massive, turbulent rapids and placidly floats them downstream over glass-like waters.

One thing is for certain. No matter who you are or what you look for in a rafting trip, you’re guaranteed to experience it all, including eons of colorful days-gone-by carved into the precipitous walls of the Grand Canyon gorge, when you float and battle your way down the omnipotent Colorado River. When you aren’t combating the powerful rapids, the calm stretches afford an exclusive view of the canyon. The journey also offers plenty of land adventure with loads of great hiking trails and beautiful beaches, and each rewarding day will culminate in a tranquil night spent sleeping on one of these sandy beaches under the stars.

Apart from its obvious otherworldly scenery, the Grand Canyon pulls ahead of all other US whitewater river systems due to its staggering variety of rapids classes. Rapids are rated using the International Scale of River Difficulty, which rates the technical difficulty levels of rapids on a scale of 1-6. Since the rapids in the Grand Canyon section of the Colorado River vary so greatly in terms of difficulty, rafting tours have been carefully crafted to suit the styles of every adventurer. First timers and relaxed rafters find excellent, laid-back tours that are fashioned along river sections containing easier-to-navigate, lower-class rapids. Thrill seekers experience heart-pounding adventures on whitewater rafting tours created just for them along sections of difficult, high-rated rapids.

Whitewater rafting is dramatically increasing in popularity as experts and addicts tout its spender and as newbies decide to have a first-time crack at it. As more and more people look for the best place to take a first stab at rafting or look for a more difficult challenge, rafting the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon becomes continually more popular.
