The views were awesome! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. If you are lucky enough to get Ben then you are indeed in good hands. We got to "surf" and even get out and swim for a bit, cold but refreshing. Definitely will be back but for a longer trip! Highly recommend!! Kids 17 and 13 enjoyed so there ya go....

We did the family lower Animas rafting trip today and had a blast! We took our 4 and 9yr olds and it was super family friendly. Kina was a great guide and made sure we all had fun! Pirate Pete was definitely an honorable mention! All the guides were fun and attentive! It rained on us right as we reached the rapids which made it even more of an adventure! We will be back to use Mountain Waters Rafting again!
