Wild West frontier town it might no longer be, but in Dodge City, the former home of the Earps and Mastersons, there are plenty of associated sights to see so long as you check your gun at the door.
Rafters looking for a challenge can try their hand at a trip down the headwaters of the Arkansas. Pine Creek, also called "Rite of Passage," is a six-mile trip through continuous Class IV and V rapids, requiring riders to be experienced rafters and in good physical condition. The Numbers is a little less intense but still thrilling, with 8 Class III-IV rapids separated by continuous whitewater and a few plunges. These two sections can be floated either separately, or together for an intense full-day trip.
The Pine Creek section begins just outside the town of Granite on US 24.
