Question
Hi Jake,

I'm planning a whitewater rafting holiday in the US over the next 12 months. Ideally I would like to do so for 1 to 2 weeks (if not longer). Would you be able to point me to someone who is knowledgeable in this area? I believe there are trips that can be done down the Colorado river - do you know anything of this? I have some experience in Washington state on the Skykomish river and the Snohomish river. I rafted three times in all in Washington. I also have rafted in Australia.

Regards,
Francis.

Answer
Francis,
   I can tell you that the water levels are very low at this time because of the lack of moisture this year.  Hopefully, we'll have a wet winter and it will bring the levels up.  Here some websites to steer you in the right direction.  http://www.raft-colorado.com/        http://www.inaraft.com/       http://www.croa.org/
Good luck in your search and I hope this information is helpful.
