Default Whitewater Newbie Seeking Help/Advice

Hello all…..I have always wanted to go whitewater rafting and have
decided to plan a trip for next June. I am thinking that the best way
to start would be to go on a guided, 1-day rafting trip rather than a
multi-day trip in the event that it isn't as much fun as I thought it
would be. Anyway….I am looking for input on good sources of
information about whitewater rafting so that I can make an educated
decision on when & where to go. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
One specific question that comes to mind is water temperature.
Obviously the water for whitewater trips comes from the snow melt so I
am thinking that the water is pretty cool. Are there areas where the
air temperature and water temperature combination makes it miserable
to raft? For example, would the weather in Colorado be warm enough
next June to go rafting without freezing our asses off? I have no
problem with getting soaked on a rafting trip but it could [resent a
problem for my wife.
Thanks for your help/advice.
