Woohoo. What a ride. Fathers choice, we took the kids and Husband's sister down Brown's Canyon near Beuna Vista. These class 3 rapids were quite the step up from the cold float trip on the Colorado last year. I have rated this stretch of the Arkansas River about a half a dozen times at different river levels. Peaking two days ago, this was a blast. Husband ran these rapids as a guide when he was a young pup just settling into Colorado about twenty years ago. He remarked on how the rock formations he knew had changed over the years. Our guide and the one in the other rafts was definitely full of tall tales. The kids believed every word, even the story that the Sevens rapids series was created when there was a double decker train track running through and it toppled in the water creating a stairs step of rapids. Tall tale or not, these were my favorite. The kids liked Zum Flum pictured above. It was also good to have Husbands Sister along for the ride.
