I took a trip as a solo traveller with Mountain Waters Rafting. I contacted them in advance and they were able to place me on a trip. The guides - Zach and Andrew - were absolutely excellent; really friendly, good fun and knowledgeable. The Animas River, which the rafts go down, is scenic and has some good rapids on it. Most of it is relatively straightforward but there are more than a few hair-raising rapids! But what really makes this trip is the fantastic staff, from the people in the office, to the bus driver, to the guides - just great, all of them!

Jeb and the rest of the guides were great. Especially with a large group that doesn’t like to follow all the rules.

Excellent Guides! I can't imagine how fun it would be with better water!! Even though the water was low and the rapids were less exciting than usual, the company did a great job of making sure everyone had a great time.
