We are a family of 3 from Colorado and have done river rafting in the past, but this was one of our favorite family trips! Joe was our raft guide and he was great! Our daughter got to "ride the bull" in the front, practice turning the raft and Joe made it very fun for all of us. Our day could not have been better. We also got to jump out the raft and swim in the shallow area with our life vests on (we rafted in Mid-August when waters are lower). So fun, if you are going to northern Yellowstone/Gardiner area you won't regret this type of experience!
