The Colorado River has been the lifeblood of the Southwestern desert for centuries, and today there's a wealth of history along its banks. Yuma River Tours (tel. 928/783-4400) operates narrated jet-boat tours from Yuma to the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge, as well as a 48-mile trip upriver to Draper. Along the way, you'll learn about the homesteaders, boatmen, Native Americans, and miners who once relied on the Colorado River. Tours cost $38 to $89.
