Rafting
Rafting is an especially popular activity on many of the country’s wild rivers. It’s most fun and exciting when whitewater is involved. The best time to go rafting is usually springtime, or at any other time when water levels are reasonably high. On smaller rivers it’s often impossible during low-water conditions.
Rafting offers more of a group experience than canoeing or kayaking. Larger rafts hold six to eight or more passengers. Most people who go rafting do so with organized groups, which normally provide guides and instruction on the trip. Paddling and steering involve a cooperative effort on the part of participants.
There are also small rubber rafts which hold two to four people, and some people go out on their own in such rafts. Don’t do this without previous rafting experience. You’ll also need detailed river maps and probably campsite information. Riding safely and successfully through whitewater requires real skill and plenty of stamina as well. Wear life jackets or vests at all times.
