My husband and I had a great day on this Animas River whitewater trip. Shae was our guide - she was fun and did a great job navigating through the rocks and rapids. Would highly recommend this trip for singles, couples and young kids. The river is beautiful.

Great experience! The rapids were the best part and also the scenery. Our guide James was excellent. He explained everything well and gave us a great tour as we went down the river. My 7yr old son enjoyed this very much. Rent the equipment they have especially when it’s cold, it helps you feel comfortable on your trip.
