We have never white water rafted before and originally planned to try the lower river section as a first attempt. When we called Big Creek Expeditions, the person who answered the phone convinced us to to try the Upper River expedition, explaining that although the rapids were class 3 and 4, no experience was needed for the trip. Reluctantly, we agreed to try the upper river although we were a bit nervous.
We needn't have been. The upper river was so much fun! I am sure we would have been bored on the lower river and Clay, our guide, was outstanding. His instructions were so clear and he knew just how to put everyone in the group on our raft at ease, in spite of the diverse group he was guiding. If you go on this trip, ask for Clay! And yes,, you are going to get WET!
