River rangers say rafters on their own in Cataract Canyon
RIVER RUNNING -- The National Park Service is abandoning its normal practice of stationing rangers at a rescue camp near the most dangerous stretch of the world-renowned rapids of Utah's Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River.
A story in the Deseret News explains that with high water everywhere this year, the Park Service said it won't be setting up the rescue camp and notified river-running companies to be prepared to self rescue.
