whitewater rafting
Rapids recreation activity
Whitewater rafting is the recreational activity of navigating inflatable rafts through turbulent river rapids.
Participants paddle together while a guide steers through churning water, rocks, and drops.
Rapids are graded by difficulty from Class I (gentle) to Class VI (extremely dangerous).
We went whitewater rafting in Colorado last summer.
