We wanted to river raft this summer but did not know where to go or what company to chose. I found Noah's Ark on the web but not until a gentleman on an airline flight recommend Noah's Ark as No #1 did I chose them. When I called to make a reservation the young lady was very nice, friendly and helpful. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly, given thorough instructions about safety and dress. We had a very knowledgeable guide that was terrific though-out the "full-day" rafting trip which included a homemade lunch along the river bank. The Arkansas River was lower than normal this summer but the rafting was still fun as we got caught in some of the boulders and swirls that the low river exposed. And, as a result of the lower river, our guide went 5 extra miles down Browns Canyon...it was a TERRIFIC experience. I recommend the company very highly. This was our first time at rafting. Now, we would like to take the next level of rapids down one of the other canyons. We also stayed at the Lakeside Motel in Buena Vista, CO, which I also recommend highly. Wonderfully clean, quiet and close to Noah's Ark.
