Rafting trip in mid July on the lower Animas. Water is lower at this time of year, so it involved more technical rowing to navigate between all the rocks. It was fun, relaxing, and very pretty. Our guide was Sam! He’ll take you through some of the trickier parts if that sounds fun, or guide you down the easiest path. He was very funny and personable and would definitely recommend asking for him!
