If you are undecided about rafting through the Royal Gorge stop thinking about it and JUST DO IT. We just did most everything you can do in the Colorado Springs/ Canon City area and this was the best by far, the best bang for the buck and the most exciting. Our guide, Eric, is a true professional with a great personality and knowledge of the River. Any age - I am 73 - will love the thrill. I am already determined to return and do it again.
