SALIDA, Colo. (AP) — Despite a severe drought across the Southwestern United States this spring, there should be plenty of water for rafters and anglers in one of the nation's most popular mountain rivers. Water from melting snow is rushing into the Arkansas River in central Colorado, thanks to a surprisingly wet winter in the towering peaks where the river begins, state and federal officials say. Some of those peaks, in Colorado's Sawatch Range, stand just outside the drought's northern reach, so they collected near-normal snowfall. "It's not going to be an epic whitewater year for us, but in many respects it's going to be very, very good," said Rob White, manager of the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area, a state park encompassing 150 miles (240 kilometers) of the river near its source. The headwaters park is a magnet for rafters and kayakers, with rapids rated from easy to extremely difficult.
