My favorite part was the tier three rapid. The whole experience was fun and not too rough for anyone on our raft. This was my first time rafting and I really enjoyed it.

We loved our guide, Sam. He went out of his way to make it fun for our kids at a variety ages (6-15). This part of the river is pretty tame (mostly class 2 and one fun class 3), but Sam made it fun by playing pinball with boulders. It still felt adventurous for the younger kiddos. The water was cold, but as long as the sun was out everyone was comfortable without wetsuits. A great introduction to rafting for a family. Everyone left happy!
