Great half day rafting trip for me and my exchange student. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable about the river and took great care of us.

We took our kids on a nice lower Animas trip. It was fantastic and we had a great time. Toby, our guide, was wonderful in pointing out all the cool stuff to see on the river and do around the area after. Kids loved it!

I took my 62 year young mother as well as my 6 and 7 year old (6 & 7 year old did not participate in the class 3 rapid). It was EPIC and Sam helped put so many smiles on our faces during our half day adventure. He was knowledgeable and did an excellent job of gauging our level of stoke throughout the trip. Thank you, Sam!! You helped us make some pretty special memories with our Nana. We appreciate you bringing joy and humor to our time together with your calm demeanor and playful spirit. ADVENTURE THERAPY!
