We did Mountain Waters Rafting with Doug Braam All of the staff that provided our trips to and from We’re extremely helpful, funny, and we’re extremely knowledgeable. It’s a blast for your family. The scenery was so breathtaking

We did a half day rafting trip on the beautiful Animas River and had Dillon as our guide. He did a fantastic job of managing our bunch and ensuring the rest of the rafters and kayakers on the trip were safe. Enjoyable for kids as young as 5 and grownups alike. Some of us were newbies and are now excited to try a trip

It was really fun, I wish there was a bit more white water rafting but overall it was an amazing experience.
