What Is Whitewater Rafting?
Whitewater rafting is a sport whose participants journey by inflatable boat down a river valley. Along the way, rapids are encountered. The raft rises over tall waves and plunges down steep drops. Paddlers pull as a team to steer the raft clear of boulders, logs, bridge abutments, and dangerous hydraulics. Is It Safe? Whitewater rafting is justly famous for adrenaline- pumping action.
