My wife, daughter, her boyfriend and I decided to get a little whitewater rafting in on Friday. Best decision and best day of the week. Matt was our guide and made the experience even better with his skills, expertise and great conversation along the way. Matt did an awesome job and took great care of us. When we are back in the area we will definitely be back for another great adventure!

We brought 20 boys/men ages 14-18 and 7 adults for a 2-day rafting experience. We were not able to raft the gorge because it was closed due to high water run-off and dangerous rapids, but all of the kids raved about the experience, and definitely enjoyed themselves. The guides can find great rapids, just let them know you want to go all out! Maggie and Ron-Jon were the guides in my boats on days 1 and 2 respectively. They were amazing guides and enhanced the river experience with their knowledge of the river and surrounding areas, as well as just making it fun to be out there. We camped on ART's property at night, and they catered dinner and breakfast. They spared no expense. I honestly would not have been disappointed with spaghetti for dinner, and pop tarts and donuts for breakfast, but It. Was. Not! I won't spoil a great surprise by telling you what we ate, but it was so good, so filling, and unbelievably well cooked. The kids raved about the food as much as the river. Excellent location, great guides who love their job, and safety as a priority make this a company I will come back to. Go check out the beauty of the Colorado Backcountry.
