Colorado Parks and Wildlife shared a video on November 25 of athletes enjoying last Thursday’s snowstorm. But the outdoor enthusiasts featured weren’t skiing or snowboarding – they were kayaking in the Arkansas River near Granite, Colorado. “When we say whitewater rafting in Colorado, the white isn’t always referring to the foamy rapids,” the department wrote on Facebook. Fourteen rafters, kayakers, and paddleboarders helped out the state agency on Thursday, November 21, by testing a new $9.1 million boat chute/fish ladder built on the river. The testing was conducted to ensure the chute would be safe next spring, when rafters will be able to float the Arkansas River from Leadville to Canon City, a journey that hasn’t been possible on the river since 1964, the post said.
