The biggest negative was the weather (no one’s fault) but the river looked like chocolate milk, and it was raining. Our guide made a negative first impression (later improved) by being a little too much “drill instructor” over paddling. I’ve rafted before, and since my youngest was 11 we did Big Horn which is very tame, more like a float trip as compared to whitewater. We were the last raft with only 5 people including Sam our guide, so our raft was slower than the other rafts. She kept wanting is to paddle more to keep up with the others. My preference would be to be aggressive paddling whitewater, or leisurely float down the river. We got neither.

Ralph, Thank you for your review and we will work with Sam on her delivery of paddle commands. As far as paddling goes we do need to keep our rafts together for safety reasons and if one falls behind the do need to paddle to catch back up. Thanks again for your review
