In a sense, this was a simple activity - paddle up the Rio Grand, stop for lunch, and then paddle down to the starting point. But it was much more than that. The scenery was awesome. The commaraderie that developed among the small group of strangers was rewarding. Jeff, our very patient and knowledgeable guide, worked tirelessly to encourage, inform, and make the trip pleasant and enjoyable. Paddling upstream took some effort, but no experience was required. We had a great time, laughed a lot at our seamanship, and highly recommend this trip.
