My family of five (incl 19 yo, 12 yo and 10 yo) took the full-day Bighorn Sheep Canyon trip in mid-July 2020. We’ve been rafting before and were concerned that Bighorn Sheep Canyon wouldn’t be “exciting enough,” but it absolutely was! We had a great day on the river with Tyler as our guide for the morning and Kelly for afternoon. (They don’t usually switch guides but one of the other guides had gotten injured the day before which threw their schedule off.). Lost Paddle was a great Company and we intend to come back next year!

Myself, my wife and 6 yr old son went on a full day bighorn and absolutely loved it! Our guide Maddy was very personable, knowledgeable, and overall made our experience very memorable. We were on the fence about doing a full day with our son but in the end we were extremely happy with our trip!

Great day on the river! Our guide Adelaide was professional, fun and prepared. Check in was easy and I recommend filing out all waivers on-line so there is nothing to do but have fun!
