# Whitewater Sports

 

The surrounding peaks, rugged valleys and melting snow make for great conditions for whitewater sports.

April through June is the best time to to go while the melting snow pack fuels the rapids.

Or for a more gentler approach try a kayak or canoe on one of the valleys’ fresh water lakes.

There are a few tour operators in town who cater to the whitewater enthusiast. At “Evergreen” you can even buy a package combining a day on the river with a number of other activities like mountain biking or rock-climbing.
