Description: FIBArk is a several day river festival hosted by the friendly citizens of
Salida. This event, the oldest whitewater race in Colorado, has a colorful
history; it began on 19 June 1949 when two boaters organized a 56-mile
downriver race from Salida to Canon City. If you have always wanted to try
out a Creature Craft or would like to learn more about them, this will be
a great opportunity to do so.

Known for its friendly small town atmosphere, Steamboat Springs boasts some of the best whitewater in the country. The Yampa River Festival includes a downriver race, a rodeo, and a beautiful Class II slalom course
in Dr. Rich Weiss Park, with classes for nearly all boats. Also included are beginner events, a salmon slalom (an up-river race), and the ever-popular “Throw a stick in the water and the first dog out (with the stick) wins”contest. A bluegrass band, chili feast and a special guest traditionally add
flavor to the festival.
