Sunny, warm days have us all digging out the sandals and jumping across puddles that are filling up from a season of heavy snowfall - puddle-filled parking lots are the precursor to rising rivers. While long summer days might mean biking, hiking, and fishing for many, here at the headwaters of the Colorado River, spring signals the rafting world to celebrate the start of boating season. 

Whether you're a novice on the water or a seasoned rafter, Grand County's waters are ready…
