The whole staff was very welcoming from the moment we walked in. They got us setup quickly with wet suits and protective gear. We wasted little time getting on our way. Tyler, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, yet firm when he needed to be. The river was rushing and he made sure we all knew what to do in case of any incidents. Which worked out well as I ejected in the first of 5 class 5s. I was able to get to the surface and it felt like he was right there to quickly pull me back in. I was really grateful for his calm and direct approach to ensuring everyone's safety as I was rescued. I was able to settle back in quickly. We continued to have a great time, filled with awesome rapids, banter and fun facts about the river and area. It was the highlight of our trip to the Royal Gorge area!
