Im going to school at CU Boulder this fall and i want to bring my kayak, a few pairs of skis and a bike, all of which would be way to expensive to ship out there. So... if you or someone you know are driving out west from the East, i would be willing to meet you before you depart and yes I will pay you!

wait a minute so you are going to boulder, without a car, and taking all your shit with you, but not with you with someone else, preferably a newschooler so they can you your u haul cross country road trip for you.... ahahah good luck, and good luck kayaking boulder once you get there.... silly kids

Golden water park is half an hour away? confluence park downtown? there's plenty of great stuff in the metro area, and even more very close to boulder if you are skilled enough, like eldo canyon.

try using a Greyhound service. Greyhound ships stuff pretty cheap (they just throw it under one of the buses) so I'd say that might be a better route then looking to hitch a ride with someone who is willing to bring all that stuff along.

i hope that is a joke.
Yeah someone dies from something whack every once in a while when it gets crazy high, but other than that it is pretty mellow.
Higher up the canyon there is some gnarlier stuff, and some sick rivers all over
