Sitting pretty at 5,280 feet in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, midway between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean, the Denver area is home to 2.5 million people who don’t seem to mind its 300 days-per-year of sunshine. Long a celebrated outdoor recreation mecca, Denver’s cultural attractions and easy urban lifestyle have taken center stage, with old brick industrial buildings sprouting stylish lofts, restaurants, shops and nightclubs. Now, with the world’s second-largest performing arts center and Daniel Libeskind’s addition to the Denver Art Museum, the Mile High City continues to ascend in stature among American cities.

Colorado white-water rafting is an adrenaline-inducing activity. Like any adventure sport, it involves some inherent risks. These potential safety concerns, however, should not discourage you from the experience. Proper safety precautions may prevent accidents and general discomfort. Some safety preparations apply to white-water rafting in general; others are specific to Colorado’s high-altitude environment.
