Super fun day! Our guide, Molly, was super helpful and friendly. She really provided a wonderful time for our family. I would recommend this trip for people of all ages and look forward to joining Mountain water rafting for a longer trip on the upper Animas!

The lower Animas River is the gateway trip to the upper Animas River, our high adventure wilderness Class 4 raft trip! Thank you for the review and recommendation!

We were fortunate to have Karen as a guide on her check ride with Paul. River was up, weather was great and we had the bus with AC. All in all a not to miss experience!

I love it when a guide gets a review on their very first commercial river trip, how cool! Thank you for the review!
