First off- our guide Andy and trip leader Connor are rock stars! They deserve their own excellent ratings!
We did a full day Browns Canyon trip on a Thursday. Both me and my girlfriend have lots of experience canoeing, kayaking, and boating, but never white-water rafting so we took the recommendation of Browns canyon.
We had over twice the water flow of average in August so everybody said it was a good time to raft.
We both had fun and were glad to do it, but talking with Andy at lunch it was clear that a full day Royal Gorge may have been more of what we had in mind when we decided to raft.
We got put in a raft with a trio from Kansas, and enjoyed their company a lot! I feel that some thought was actually put into boat/guide assignments, not just some numbers in a computer.
They definitely handle a lot of youth groups, church groups, Boy Scouts, etc, so if that is a problem for you just let them know and they will probably find a solution for you!
Our guides stressed safety and I talked with Andy about his training and certification and I was impressed! (Not an easy feat I will say) I felt very safe and at easy knowing that the guides are well trained and know the river.
I will definitely raft with them again if I get the chance!
