We Miss Summer: The Top Photos of 2014

The 2014 Colorado rafting season was one to not be missed! Record snowfall for the 2013-2014 ski and snowboard season flooded our hills and mountains with a higher than average snowpack. This record snowpack melted throughout the course of the spring and summer and filled up our rivers to more than usual. As we draw closer to the 2014-2015 ski and snowboard season and move further away from rafting season, its not hard to see that we miss summer. The top photos of 2014, however, work as a pleasant reminder of the warmth and excitement of summer. Check em out!
