Event narrative (NOAA)
The Colorado River in Glenwood Canyon ran high and fast as a result of accelerated snowmelt. While rafting in Glenwood Canyon, two rafters fell into the river while navigating a rapid and eddy. Both men were pulled from the water and brought back to shore. The rafting party began CPR on the two individuals - one rafter responded, but the other one did not.
