Wonderful time on the river today, our family’s second white-water rafting adventure... and so far, our favorite. Pete was our guide for the day, and comes highly recommended. In fact, the entire staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially during COVID. Will book again!

Fun day rafting! Marcus did a great job managing the rapids and managing the raft full of people! The river was kind of low but he came up with fun activities to keep the kids in the raft entertained, and stopped to help out another raft whose guide was hurt.

Marcus the Manager is what we call him! I am glad you had fun at the end of the rafting season here on the Animas River. Labor Day weekend is when the locals get out the inner tubes for the holiday and we start thinking about ski season. Thank you for the review.
