Stream View: Next best thing to paddling Yampa River

The Yampa River is one of the last wild rivers in the entire Colorado River Basin. From classic canyon scenery to whitewater rapids, the river supports vibrant recreation economies, fish, and wildlife, and connects us to our shared natural and cultural heritage. See it as if you were on the river on Google's Street View for the stream.

RIVERS -- Take a ride in photos down 72 miles of the wild Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument and explore the beauty this unique river has to offer. Use your mouse to click and hold, then pan and explore the full panorama.

Check it all out here on the American Rivers site featuring Google's Street View technology.

The Yampa, which runs through Colorado and Utah is in need of supporters to assure it isn't tapped as part of Colorado's final Water Plan.
