The experience was great but be careful I got ripped off by the company: I was quoted a fixed price for 2 events and 2 weeks after I paid for the fixed and agreed by contract price I was asked to pay double what I was quoted and they debited my credit card without talking to me ! I am appalled by this behaviour and no one would call to explain. Do not leave your credit card details to these guys as they will just take your money without asking you!

Had a great time at Idaho Springs. Squirt was our rafting guide and she was great. Danielle and Clay took me zip lining and it was just as fun.
