What could be more fun than kayaking or rafting down a mountain river? NOTHING! We've done this every summer in Colorado.
This year we floated down the river with many different groups of people. Our neighbors took a few runs with us. Troy and Linda have a raft, which is a little harder to control than our kayaks, but just as much fun. Pictured are Linda, Troy, Sherry and Mark in the raft.
Kandy and Val, our Trophy Club friends, were here again this year and brought a bunch of kayaks with them, so we took a few trips with them. They also had many family members with them, including 2 little grandsons, who loved the rides.

They love to hike so we did some kayaking and hiking with them (See our hiking post)
See our big group - we made a train with each one hanging on to the boat in front. Delton missed the picture due to camera problems.
The river was very high and fast when we first got to Fun Valley on June 10, so we waited till it got calmer to ride the river. Record snowfalls last winter created the high, fast river. Some experienced kayakers would have loved it, we wanted to be safe.
Tracy and Susan joined us. Tracy bought a new kayak (blue one). He had a little trouble adjusting to us, so he dumped almost as soon as he entered to river. COLD WATER! But, as he got used to it, it turned out to be easy to handle and great for river kayaking.
If you've never experienced floating down a mountain river - do it! It's great!
