Loved our guide, Wolfgang! Smelter, a class 3 rapids was a blast! Durango was beautiful and Wolfgang told us lots of stories about it.

Tanner crushed it! Each and every one of the guides do what they do because they love their jobs and it shows. Tanner brought his own spin on our trip. He had some really interesting facts about the flora and fauna and even made some up along the way (Which was pretty funny) From the front desk gang to the crews working the rafts everyone was happy and super friendly. You guys have hired the best and it was a pleasure to spend the day with you. When you work hard all year it's pretty awesome to get a day to forget about the daily grind and enjoy a day on the river. Looking forward to coming back for a trip on the Upper Animas

We had the best time, a new family favorite! Emma (B) was amazing! She was knowledgeable, funny, and the best guide we could have asked for! We will be back for sure and will be asking for Emma 😀
