Our family had a fantastic time with Michael and Talulah (guides) and Jacob (bus driver). Talulah and Michael provided great service to the entire party. Michael, our guide, was fantastic! He was very personal, informative and funny. We did the Lower Animas half day trip and it was a ton of fun! Highly recommended!

The guides deservedly get the lions share of thanks and praise. Often overlooked and who deserve more attention are the women and men who drive our guests safely to and from the river. Thank you for the review!
