High in the Colorado’s immaculate Rocky Mountain wilderness, the impressive Colorado River embarks. After meandering its way across the Colorado, the river makes it through some of the most spectacular destinations including Utah, Arizona, California, Nevada and two Mexican states, Sonora and Baja California offering endless majesty and scenic wonder.

Canoeing, kayaking and rafting are the most popular activities on Colorado River. It may take up to five years to gain a legal nod to raft at the Grand Canyon’s section but there are a number of rafting companies that happily sponsor trips and offer discount packages for the river tour. Although it is rugged and isolated but the beautiful Grand Canyon is the wildest and most popular rafting destinations. Whitewater rafting is considered to be the best summer activity on the Colorado River. Photo By: Arizona Traveler
Fishing is another popular activity that Colorado River offers. Lake Mead and Lake Havasu are two well-known fishing locations. Camping is another major recreational activity offered by the Colorado River. Other than the Grand Canyon, the river winds its way across several scenic parks and preservation areas. Arizona’s Picacho Peak State Park and California’s Moabi Regional Park have campsites available. Photo By: auntie rain
Touring Colorado River is also a great option for those who love watching flora, fauna and wildlife. Lush surroundings at several spots along the 1,450 miles stretch offers a variety of colorful birds, exotic wildlife and foliage to enjoy. Do not forget to make it to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon, the two most amazing U.S. landmarks and must-sees along the river. Overall, Colorado River has so much to offer that it automatically becomes any outdoor adventurer’s dream. Photo By: StormeTX
