DENVER - At least three people have drowned on Colorado's runoff-swollen rivers this spring, and authorities are bracing for more when flows peak.
The three people died last week while kayaking or swimming, and a fourth is presumed dead after disappearing while canoeing in the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs.
Another person was hospitalized after nearly drowning when a commercial raft flipped Tuesday in Clear Creek a half-mile west of Idaho Springs. (Rocky Mtn News)
