Definitely an awesome experience. We're from FL, and first off the scenery was surreal. Despiser rain in beginning, the sun cleared to really show beautiful Idaho springs mountains. Our guide CHAZ was awesome! He kept us safe, assessed our skill level, and would constantly give us tips as newbies. In addition, he really made an effort to know everyone and point out the cool parts of the view. He also shared some of his extreme sports background and lifestyle; very cool stuff. Funny and great guide. Otherwise, rapids were just as we expected; just right for our level. Overall, awesome experience.
