Our guide - Jason - was the best. He knew what we wanted---ride wise--and he did not disappoint. The water was a little low, but he made it more exciting and fun.

Beautiful day and a great team of guides! Sam, Emma, Nate and Brody all did a fantastic job. Trip was fairly easy with only a couple of class 3 rapids. Emma was the guid for our group and she was very knowledgeable sharing history along the way. Definitely an enjoyable adventure!

A very fun day with just enough excitement! In August the water in the Animas River is lower, so we got high-centered on rocks a few times. Either we pushed off with our oars, or our guide got our an got us off. Water was a refreshing temp so it was a nice break to stop and swim a couple times. The girls especially enjoyed jetting through the small rapids with just their life vests on.
