Check out our picks for the best, class III scenic canyon runs.  From the technical, action-packed Kicking Horse Canyon in Golden BC, to the crystal clear rapids of the Green River, Utah there are thousands of amazing runs out there.  Let's hear if you agree with our picks!

We could have packed the entire magazine with great choices but didn't want to turn it in to a guidebook so we narrowed it down to three - Rio Grande TX, Kicking Horse River BC, and the Green River UT.  All three of our picks have stunning scenery, Class III whitewater, and reasonable logistics (meaning you don't have to hike through jungle for days to run them).  If you've run any of these we'd love to hear what you think and if you have any others to add to the list let us know in the comments section below.
