Emma led us is on a fantastic trip with our young adult kids. We did the 3/4 day which includes a nice lunch and some leisurely floating as well as a lot of rapids. This river is clear and flowing well now and we had very little company on the river except for blue herons. Highly recommend this trip and this company.

I went with my husband and boys, 14 and 15-and we had a great time with our guide, Audrey! Although it was warm outside, we heeded their advice and work the wetsuit and booties and splash jacket and we were glad we did! Water was really cold and lots of big splashes but so much fun! Definitely a highlight of our trip to Durango! Only disappointment was that the camera for the picture package malfunctioned so we didn’t get the action shots- but loved the trip!
