We took a rafting trip with Lost Paddle on 7/22/18. We are from the Midwest and our teens had not rafted before. Joe was absolutely great with our family. He was patient, explained things well, and was friendly and personable providing conversation and history of the river and gorge area along the way. With his direction, we made it through the rapids without anyone falling out of the raft (which was our kids' greatest fear). I enjoyed how friendly all the Lost Paddle guides were and stayed together to set safety for each other when coming through difficult rapids. We all had a great time and I would definitely book with them again. The photos they took were amazing, too! Great memories!
