Where in Utah will you be rafting? And when? I will keep my eyes peeled for your reply in case you are rafting close to Beautiful Moab. My husband was out in Westwater Canyon on the Colorado for Swiftwater Rescue training last Friday & had a great time. I have been stuck at work & haven't been out yet this year. My kayak is anxious to hit the Colorado and so am I!

Date: 21 Apr 1999 08:40:12 MST7MDT Cool- I think that rafting sounds like tons of fun. How and where do I get the stuff and what is the best equipment to use? Suzette - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Lou & Jim Gostlin Subject: Re: [OUTDOORS] Rafting? Date: 21 Apr 1999 09:00:09 -0600 Hi Suzette, Yes, rafting is really great fun. I became totally hooked from the first time I went. Rafting is a large part of why we moved to Moab from Ohio last year. Call 1-800-635-6622 for information about Moab. Tell them you are primarily interested in rafting. The best way to begin rafting is either with a commercial outfitter or on a private trip with experienced rafters. For your first raft trip, I would recommend the Moab "Daily" or "Fisher Towers" section of the Colorado River just outside of Beautiful Moab. This stretch of the river is really beautiful. It has some fun rapids. They are not life threatening, but you will get wet! For a commercial outfitter, I would recommend Canyon Voyages in Moab. (435) 259-6007. I am sure they have a 1-800 number, but I don't know it. Don & Denise will take good care of you. Hope you get to raft this year and enjoy it!

Date: 22 Apr 1999 19:56:27 MST7MDT Thank you for giving me advice on the Moab rafting. I am excited to take some friends and try the rapids that are not "life threatening."

It even has one-room cabins next to restrooms for those people without tents (or caught in a rainstorm as my family was.) It has tent areas, and RV areas, and has nice showers and a pool and hot-tub, and playground for kids. It was not expensive. Slickrock Campground is the name, I think. We've stayed there several times. There is also a campground in Arches National Park, but it fills up quickly and isn't right in Moab. There are a few places right on the river that are free, and have portable toilets. There are several places to rent bikes. Poisen Spider is one bike rental, and I sure other people can think of some more. Great biking, but easy to get lost. Make sure you get good directions and have a detailed map and extra water.
