AMERICAN DREAM TV

Most people think of Colorado adventures as skiing, hiking, and biking… but what if you experienced the Centennial State from the middle of a rushing river? 🌊

In this episode of American Dream TV, Monica Breckenridge heads to Cañon City, Colorado, for an unforgettable whitewater rafting adventure on the Arkansas River with Raft Masters!

From the peaceful beauty of Bighorn Sheep Canyon to Class 2 and 3 rapids, Monica and her friends discover a completely different way to experience Colorado. Along the way, their guide, Freck, shares what it takes to navigate the rapids, how river water levels are measured in CFS, and why guiding people through these adventures is so rewarding.

And yes… they definitely got wet! 😂💦

Monica’s biggest takeaway? Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that push you just a little outside your comfort zone. ❤️

Their Bighorn Sheep Canyon trips are beginner-friendly and offer an incredible combination of scenic views and splashy rapids.

🐴 Donkey Derby Days in Cripple Creek, Colorado! 🐴 Step back in time and experience one of Colorado’s most unique and fun annual events — Donkey Derby Days! Held every summer in the historic mountain town of Cripple Creek, this festival celebrates the town’s rich past and its four-legged residents: donkeys descended from the very ones that worked the mines during the Cripple Creek Gold Rush. ✨ Why donkeys? Back in the late 1800s, Cripple Creek was the heart of Colorado’s last great gold rush. Miners relied on donkeys to haul heavy equipment and loads of gold ore through the rugged mountains. When the gold rush faded, many of these hard-working animals were set free — and their descendants still roam the hills around town today! 🎉 About Donkey Derby Days This quirky tradition has been celebrated for over 90 years, bringing people together for a weekend of fun. Visitors can watch donkey races, enjoy live entertainment, explore craft and food vendors, and learn about Cripple Creek’s fascinating mining history. It’s a festival unlike any other — where history, community, and a bit of wild west spirit come alive! ⛏ Cripple Creek Gold Rush History In 1890, gold was discovered in the Cripple Creek area, kicking off a rush that turned this quiet mountain valley into a booming mining district. Over the years, the mines here produced over 20 million ounces of gold, making it one of the richest gold camps in U.S. history. Many of the historic buildings you see today were built during this golden era and still stand as a testament to the town’s rugged past. 📍 Plan Your Visit Cripple Creek is just a short drive from Colorado Springs and makes for a perfect day trip or weekend getaway. Whether you come for the donkeys, the history, or just the mountain views, you’ll leave with memories you won’t forget!
