GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo (KUSA) — Surfers are flocking to Colorado to catch a rare wave.
The Colorado River is seeing historic levels at the Whitewater Park in Glenwood Springs. This past weekend, the river was flowing faster than 20,000 cubic square feet, which hasn't been seen in the area since 2011.
