The Smelter (?) run, (the place you take your photo's) was great. Our guide Hannah, was able to negotiate many of the rocks so we were not stuck on them and for the most part, kept us as dry as reasonably possible. Please take note that this is a group, whitewater rafting experience, where "social distancing" is pretty much impossible.

The rafting adventure was far better than we expected. We had a thorough safety briefing and carefully fitted for personal flotation device. We were instructed on basic rafting techniques. Brody , our guide, was exceptional in maneuvering the raft, explaining the history of the River - Durango. The time went quickly. Thank you Brody. We did a lot of activities in the Durango area while on vacation, this was far the best. Dahl’s - Scottsdale, AZ
