We had a great time rafting on the Lower Animas. This is my second time rafting with Mountain Waters and both times we have had exceptional guides. Our guide today, Chris, was really experienced and made the trip fun! Will definitely be coming back for another trip!

When you come back try one of our trips on the San Miguel River near Telluride or the Piedra River near Pagosa Springs, both beautiful next level rafting. Thank you for the review!

My husband and I were reluctant to follow through with this rafting adventure, it was 41 degrees and raining when we headed over to check in! Wetsuits on, booties on, game on! Everyone affiliated with Mountain waters was extremely friendly and when we met Marcus, our guide, the moment became one we knew would be a day to remember! The Animas was its highest level, running at 4200 cfs and we were told we were going to be the first raft to hit the rapids! Marcus was a complete professional, making the trip adventurous, fun, humorous and safe! We would definitely do this again and would request the same team that made this a day to remember! Thanks to ALL!!

There IS no such thing as bad weather when you are dressed for the adventure! It was awesome to see you guys rock those rapids on May 17th and it has been awesome to see the guides, drivers and office rock it since our first trip of the season Friday, April 26th, thank you for the review!

We are took a family of 4 (myself, my wife and our two sons-5 years and 7 years) and had an amazing time. The staff was all awesome and our guide Sydney kept us all safe and entertained! We won't hesitate to use Mountain Waters Rafting again!
