Travel Haiku - May Colorado River Poem by john tiong chunghoo

May Colorado River
our admirations and the rushes
of the white water

May Colorado River
the white water echoes
our joy and admiration

May Colorado River
taking our breath away
crimson butts and mesas

Arguably the best rollercoaster ride in the country can be found in May on the Colorado River and its famous stretch of 30-plus rapids between Canyonlands National Park and Lake Powell. Float down the Green and the Colorado rivers for up to six days with Red River Adventures, gazing upon the area's crimson buttes and mesas and riding its most scream-worthy whitewater. After the epic run, retire to Moab, where balmy breezes and dry trails lure mountain bikers, climbers, and hikers out of their wintry shells.
