The nature scenery of Colorado and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have
people coming from far and near. If you have the time you can make this a two day trip, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. If you're coming from Edwards it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. For all you camping
people there are campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car.
