We had a fantastic time on the Animas today with extended family and our twin 8 year old daughters. We have been down the Animas multiple times over the years. Our guide James made the trip particularly fun today. Highly recommend.

Hayden C was a great raft master, had a blast on his tour. Knowledgeable and funny, we had a great time on the Animas, and the recent rain made the rapids that much more fun. He's also got a Super Troopers vibe going for him, which is nice.
