0-20: The Calculated Risk Taker
So you obviously are interested in a little more action, otherwise you wouldn't be taking this test. However you don't really want to get your paws wet or risk injury. Maybe you have kids to think about also. Not to worry, because we have just the trips for you. Shoshone am w/ lunch, experience great class III whitewater for the first mile or so and then relax with the remaining scenic float through spectacular Glenwood Canyon. Also ideal, are class two rapids and smaller whitewater on the Middle and Lower Roaring Fork River.
21-40: The Mild Adrenaline Junky
Okay, you love your adventure and sure you may have even tried some pretty gnarly things before but there is a definite line between fun and plain stupidity. You are the type of person that can marvel at stunt devils while at the same time you question their sanity. If you have been rafting before you probably are ready to dabble in a class four like Numbers or Slaughterhouse. If you haven't rafted before you want to stick with a class three like the Upper Roaring Fork or a Triple Shoshone. Whether you have experience or not, Inflatable Duckies may also be the right kind of thrill for you.
40-60: The Thrill Seeker
Well, well, well, if you have come this far, you probably know a bit about rafting already and you're as fit as a stallion. If you need to brush up on your skills, I would recommend visiting a class four rapid first, like Slaughterhouse and Numbers. Neither will bore you but they will be a great introduction to the monster river run " Pine Creek". Beware, this stretch is unforgiving, it requires skill, stamina and teamwork to make it through.
