Me and five friends decided on the half-day Browns Canyon Tour, which is a class III rapid (we had an 11-year-old with us, so I believe that's the highest level you're allowed to go). We all LOVED our guide, William, who was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. We chatted the entire two-hour trip with William patiently answering all of our (probably ridiculous) questions, as well as pointing out different unique geological features. I also appreciated that he took safety seriously. I would highly, highly recommend using River Runners as all of the staff we spoke to there were helpful and kind. They also have their own beach for a launch point which is incredibly convenient. Oh! And a bonus is that they have a hummingbird feeder outside of their shop that's buzzing with activity!
