Deep in the heart of Gore Canyon the mighty Upper Colorado River rears its head. Every year kayakers and rafters alike gather to find their own place among the rushing whitewater. The Gore Canyon Race is a harrowing 3.5 mile sprint through raging whitewater separated by seemingly endless flat water lakes that leaves even the most conditioned paddler gasping for breath.
