This was the highlight of our stay in Gatlinburg. We were a family of eight with some younger and older members, so we signed up for the family trip. Upon our arrival they accessed our ability to handle the Upper Pigeon River and offered us the opportunity to upgrade our trip. We are glad we did. Our guide made sure we all remained safe by keeping a close eye on the older and younger participants. Oh yeah, we had a blast. Good people all around. A great experience for anyone looking for a little adventure.
