An incredible experience to see the Dam and the spectacular river canyon. We would highly recommend. The drive down the original road used to build the Dam was an unexpected thrill.

Our rafting trip was amazing! Sarah, our captain, was a wonderful guide. She imparted so much knowledge about rock formation and wildlife. The lunch box that was prepared for each passenger was so thoughtful and delicious. The raft had everything you could think of that we might need. The views are stunning. We would do this again!
