Rivers are like highways through some of the most scenic terrain there is. You just need the right vehicle to travel these highways, and that vehicle is a white water raft.
Around every bend is a cliff or mountain hillside, a waterfall, a rock tower, or a crashing mountain stream cascading directly into the river. Maybe the most dramatic and fleeting moments are the peeks you get up the little slot canyons as you drift swiftly past their mouths. That's enough talk. I'll let a few photos make my point.
