Rafting

MOAB -- Authorities say a 47-year-old Colorado man has died after falling from a raft in the Colorado River near Moab.

SALMON, Idaho -- A blowout flood in the Black Creek drainage has dammed the Salmon River, created a new rapid and buried another.

The flood pushed large rocks and tree trunks into the river about a half-mile below Salmon Falls on the main Salmon River, between the towns of Salmon and Riggins in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area. Salmon Falls is about 67 miles downstream of the town of North Fork.
