Our family did this as a last minute idea when our primary plan got cancelled due to the forest fire and I’m really glad we did this. Dylan was our guide and our entire family 10 was taken for a fun ride down the Animas. Smiles all around. Dylan kept up appropriately wet during the trip and since it was River Days anyhow there were plenty of other fun folks out on the river.

This was our first time to ever go rafting and it was awesome! Jesse was our guide and hands down was the best. He made it so much fun and kept safety a priority. He was very knowledgeable about the river and interacted with all the guests. This was a very enjoyable trip/activity. We rate it a 5 all the way!
