The beginning of the 2020 rafting season in Chaffee County was certainly one with plenty of questions going into it. Would there be a season at all?

For Independent Whitewater, the current year has been one that while different, has still been a good year for the company.

The experience from their point of view has seen a shift from having a lot of large groups on the river to more small parties of one and two rafts going on the trips, allowing for a more personal adventure on the river.

As far as the flows, the river didn’t see the sustained peaks from last year, but expectations are the river should be around 700 CFS through the end of July.
