- Abstract
The article explains the inspiration behind the Outstanding River Problem for the 2012 Mathematical Contest in Modeling. According to the author, the problem was inspired by a research project for the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. She reveals that her team developed a mathematical model to simulate white water rafting traffic along the Colorado River. She adds that their model was used as a tool by National Park Service river managers for exploring scheduling rafting traffic options.
