Extreme Colorado whitewater rafting the Numbers Arkansas River 2,400 6-24-2011
800-723-8987 A blue bird day in Buena Vista, Colorado. Just a few clouds to cool you off once in a while. The best place to be in Colorado is on the Arkansas River, rafting some incredible Colorado whitewater rafting the Numbers section of the Arkansas River at 2,400 CFS.
Today was a unique day in the rafting world, rafting on the Arkansas River. The rafting section we call the Numbers opened toady and allowed a few lucky rafters the opportunity raft this incredible stretch of Colorado whitewater. We call it the Numbers because there are too many rapids to name so we numbered them.
The Numbers is a class IV-V section of the Arkansas River located up stream from Buena Vista, Colorado. The Colorado State Parks regulates the whitewater rafting companies on the Arkansas River and all commercial whitewater rafting take part in this Colorado State Park called the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area.
If the water flows of the Arkansas River are above 2,400 CFS in the Numbers section. The Colorado State parks recommends that this section not be run.
Colorado State Parks website quote about rafting the Numbers:
The Numbers: It is recommended that the Numbers (Section 1C) not be run at flows over 2400 CFS at the Numbers/Below Granite guage as read at 7:00 am for full day or morning trips and at 12:00 noon for afternoon Numbers trips.

Requirements: 16 Years Old
Good physical condition
Rafting experience recommended
It is high water season on the Arkansas River. And the Arkansas River has not peaked yet. Today the water flows of the Arkansas River dropped today. This was due to some maintenance to a dam up stream. The Arkansas River dipped below 2,400 CFS. This allowed this hardy crew of whitewater enthusiasts to take an incredible adventure through some of Colorado's best whitewater rafting.
This crew rafting with River Runners: two boats in the morning, some on a two day overnight rafting trip, who will camp in Browns Canyon overnight and raft out tomorrow. In the afternoon 5 boats will challenge these class V rapids.
The Arkansas River was just below the cut off point to not allow Colorado River Outfitters to commercially run this section. These people go a treat!
The temperatures are hot and are supposed to rise over the next few days. What better way to cool off than go whitewater rafting. I do not think the Numbers will be open tomorrow. But you never know. Make a reservation show up and we will take you rafting on the best whitewater we can offer.
We were rafting the Royal Gorge today from our Royal Gorge Rafting Center in Canon City, Colorado. This is Colorado's best whitewater rafting trip. If the Royal Gorge is not available you will have a blast rafting upstream of the Royal Gorge in Bighorn Sheep Canyon.
Experts expect the upper Arkansas River to peak July 2, 2011 at 5,000 CFS. This is going to make Browns Canyon and Bighorn Sheep Canyon a wild ride. Book your rafting trip today so you do not miss the boat. Try to avoid Saturdays because all the Colorado locals come to Buena Vista and Canon City to raft the Arkansas River.
Enjoy these video clips of some of Colorado's best whitewater rafting. Be sure to call River Runners and book your Colorado whitewater rafting adventure.
River Runners whitewater rafting trips are fun not by accident. There are a lot of people working hard to make this happen. Colorado's whitewater rafting season is fun and short. The Colorado commercial whitewater rafting season only lasts about 100 days each summer. Colorado whitewater rafting is best from May to September. Colorado's high water rafting season is typically fleeting depending on the snow fall of the Rocky Mountains.
This year we go an abundance of snow. This snow is now melting and making incredible Colorado whitewater for all to enjoy.
So book your trip, show up at least 1 hour prior to your whitewater rafting trip departure time. Be nice to the rafting reservationists on the phone. Get a good nights sleep before your rafting trip. Show up happy with a good attitude. Do not psych yourself out. Whitewater rafting is fun. Don't let what you don't know scare you.
Let's go whitewater rafting in Colorado with River Runners.

Places to see in ( San Diego - USA ) Cabrillo National Monument
Cabrillo National Monument is at the southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California, United States. It commemorates the landing of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. This event marked the first time a European expedition had set foot on what later became the West Coast of the United States. The site was designated as California Historical Landmark #56 in 1932. As with all historical units of the National Park Service, Cabrillo was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
The annual Cabrillo Festival Open House is held on a Sunday each October. It commemorates Cabrillo with a reenactment of his landing at Ballast Point, in San Diego Bay. Other events are held above at the National Monument and include Kumeyaay, Portuguese, and Mexican singing and dancing, booths with period and regional food, a historical reenactment of a 16th-century encampment, and children's activities.
The park offers a view of San Diego's harbor and skyline, as well as Coronado and Naval Air Station North Island. On clear days, a wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean, Tijuana, and Mexico's Coronado Islands are also visible. A visitor center screens a film about Cabrillo's voyage and has exhibits about the expedition.
The Old Point Loma Lighthouse is the highest point in the park and has been a San Diego icon since 1855. The lighthouse was closed in 1891, and a new one opened at a lower elevation, because fog and low clouds often obscured the light at its location 129 meters (422 feet) above sea level. The old lighthouse is now a museum, and visitors may enter it and view some of the living areas.
The area encompassed by the national monument includes various former military installations, such as coastal artillery batteries, built to protect the harbor of San Diego from enemy warships. Many of these installations can be seen while walking around the area. A former army building hosts an exhibit that tells the story of military history at Point Loma.
The area near the national monument entrance was used for gliding activities in 1929-1935. Several soaring endurance records were established here by William Hawley Bowlus and others including the first 1-hour flight in a sailplane, and a 15-hour flight in 1930 which surpassed the world record for soaring endurance. Even Charles Lindbergh soared in a Bowlus sailplane along the cliffs of Point Loma in 1930. Markers for these accomplishments can be found near the entrance, and the site is recognized as a National Soaring Landmark by the National Soaring Museum.
( San Diego - USA ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting San Diego . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in San Diego - USA
