Took my family and some friends of theirs and had an absolutely great time. The river was amazing and all the crews I saw for Cherokee did a great job. I would highly recommend Ben as the guide, I am not discounting any others but he knew every part of that river and every trick to give you the best time based on what he thought you could give. These guides work to give you a good trip and the Parkers and crew appreciated it and the great day it was!!
