Wonderful family trip with beautiful scenery. My wife was extremely nervous but within 5 minutes and a class IV rapid, felt much better. Reservations and check in process were very easy. Our guide McKenzie(not sure of spelling) did a great job and was a super role model for my two teen age girls who expected to see a burly mountain man as a guide(which there a couple). would absolutely recommend this trip.

Thank you for the great comments about your trip and guide McKenzie. We think this corner of the Smokies is especially gorgeous and makes for a wonderful backdrop of a splashy, fun river adventure. I'm glad McKenzie was an inspiration to your girls--women make fabulous guides! Have a great summer, and thank you again. See you on the river! Susan Spivey Outpost Manager Smoky Mountain Outdoors

Heather was our rafting guide, and she was really great. She wasn't too boisterous, but wasn't too reserved, either. We felt completely safe with her at the helm.
