The Colorado River through GC voted best whitewater rafting trip in US


Just saw this website had rated the top ten whitewater rafting trips in the US. I think this is more outfitter driven than anything else but it's nice to see our trip at number 1. I do think the Chattooga was robbed at just 8!

1. Rafting the Colorado River. In the grandest canyon of the Colorado, experience the excitement, serenity, joy and enchanting beauty of the river as it transforms this divine chasm and those who venture down it. Raft 279 miles in 18 days. The Grand Canyon is ever-changing, with massive walls that step back to expose eons of natural history, at one place dark and narrow, and at another lush with waterfalls thundering hundreds of feet in luminous free fall.
2. Oregon - the Rogue
3. Idaho - The Middle Fork of the Salmon
4. West Virginia - The Gauley and the New
5. Washington -  the Skykomish
6. Montana's  the Middle Fork of the Flathead
7. Idaho - the Salmon
8. Rafting on the Chattooga River - GA, SC, NC Boarders
The Chattooga begins at the Whitesides Mountain in North Carolina and flows in a southwesterly direction to form the border between South Carolina and Georgia. One of the wildest and most beautiful whitewater rivers in the America, the Chattooga was the first river in the Southeast to be designated "Wild & Scenic" by Congress and was used as a location for the movie Deliverance
.
9. Alaska -Tatshenshini and Alsek Rivers
10. Durango Colorado - The River of Lost Souls
