The man who died rafting the Colorado River in Glenwood Canyon this weekend was from Illinois. The Garfield County Coroner reports 56-year-old Dennis Janes drowned after he fell from a raft Saturday. The accident happened east of the Grizzly Creek rest area. Janes was one of three people in the raft, which was not from a commercial company. He was wearing both a life vest and a helmet. River flows are strong this spring because of plentiful moisture and upstream reservoir releases.
