I love going with smaller, independent companies. You might not get the nice, painted, custom bus, the matching gear and labeled equipment. But what you do get is personalized service, some of the best guides, people who know each customer by name. Our guide, Hunter, was amazing. He's been doing it a while and teaches swift water rescue and really knew his stuff. He guided us through a difficult 3 Rocks section safely at a high water weekend. We even saw some big horn sheep. Unfortunately, Royal Gorge was closed, but we still had a great time in Bighorn Sheep Canyon.

This was an amazing adventure with an amazing guide. Request Jacob as your guide. Knowledgeable, compassionate, experienced, and entertaining. With Jacob and the eclectic business, Lost Paddle, we got the full experience of white water adventure.

We had so much fun! It ended up being a half day trip, but it was awesome! The grandkids had a blast! Our guide, Tyler, was stupendous! He gave the kids an experience they will never forget!
