Colorado's diverse terrain and outdoor culture makes it a paradise for
paddlers of all kinds. High mountain lakes and reservoirs offer
flatwater paddling in the shadow of snowcapped peaks. There are
stretches of river perfect for everyone: beginner sections for learning
or teaching, quality Class 3 runs sure to thrill intermediates, and some
of the steepest, most technical whitewater on earth. Paddling Colorado
describes 30-40 trips in a remarkable variety of settings--from downtown
Denver to the remote canyons of the Dolores River. Offering useful
guidance on river access, hazards, and regulations, this guide shows the
way to the best paddling opportunities in the state. New in this
