River Rafting - Where to Find the Best River Rafting TripsWant to go river rafting on the Colorado, Snake, Gauley rivers or even abroad? River rafting is a lot of fun. Whitewater river rafting offers thrills, chills, and even an occasional spill. You'll find great river rafting rides in water from Alaska and Colorado to Peru and Fiji. While the wildest rides on many rivers are in the springtime, you can find float trips throughout the summer and early fall, and trips through stronger rapids on rivers that have dam-release water. The generally accepted international grading system puts whitewater river rafting in classes I through IV, with I being the most gentle water and VI promising the most extreme rapids. 1.
