We went rafting down the Eagle River in some pretty fun conditions. This is an action shot that I found online of us powering through some rapids. We had an epic incident where we got stuck on a couple rocks in the middle of the river. Half the people in the raft were mostly underwater for quite some time as our guide worked to get us off the rocks. It was a good rafting outing!
To wrap up the adventure activities on our birthday weekend, Heather and I went whitewater rafting with Echo Canyon River Expeditions on Bighorn Sheep Canyon. We originally had been scheduled to do the Royal Gorge but due to high water, the gorge was closed for commercial rafting.

Excited for some white water!
Here are some of the best clips of the rapids.
