The action, adventure, and adrenaline that whitewater rafting provides is about as much bang for the buck as you'll find in any outdoor sport. What other activity gives you a workout, delivers a rush, and cools you down periodically, all while sitting down?

Then there's the natural beauty of places seen only by you and fellow rafters willing to run a gauntlet of wild rapids.

So do I have you hooked on the idea of taking a rafting trip? Great, then the next choices are which river to run and finding a good guide service. As a professional whitewater river guide who has run his share of the world's great rivers, I can give you an insider's perspective on these decisions.
