Unfortunately, vacation is not something we can enjoy year round. Therefore, you want to make the one you get exciting and memorable. If taking out a second mortgage to finance this adventure is not what you had in mind, never fear. Mother Nature has an unlimited supply of beauty and fun she wants to share.

There is a beautiful world out there just brimming with life. Taking advantage of the beauty in nature, you can create a relaxing escape or a wild adventure...whatever fits your whim. Both fantasies can turn reality with a Colorado white water rafting vacation. Racing down the river, paddling through white water, all whilst under the close eye of an experienced tour guide allowing you the safety net you need. What about the cost? Aren't guides and outdoor sports costly?

While different companies offer different activities and prices, most have an affordable option. Many tour companies will offer discounted rates to those with large groups, making the trip even more affordable. You always want to check with the company you have in mind regarding what their pricing actually includes though. While splash jackets and wetsuits are a nice touch, your main concern should be life jackets and helmets. Check on the availability of lunch. If you trip is long enough to include a lunch break, make sure that your food is included. Don't be caught without a bagged lunch if it's not part of the package. Having this information allows you to plan accordingly - pack a lunch, bring money for lunch, or plan on stopping on your way back. Are some folks in your party more interested in activities out of the raft? Not to worry! By checking prior to arrival, you can find out what additional activities are available and get their scheduling squared away in advance.

By covering your bases, you won't end up leaving your main objectives to chance, and you will be free to focus on the entertainment free from stress. Your adventure is one you will remember for years to come; don't let unwanted surprises ruin the fun to be had.
