Awesome trip!! We have rafted several times and even though the water was not flowing very high we still had a great time. Jesse kept us laughing with his jokes and stories. He let our two young adults surf at one of the rapids. The both loved it. It was a great deal of fun especially because we weren’t expecting much in the way of excitement bc the river was not running very high. Jesse even gave us his top three restaurants recommendations and they were great too! You
