I set up a trip for myself and 4 others to raft the rapids through the Royal Gorge with Raft Masters and it went off beautifully. Our ages were between 40 and 70 years old. Although rapids on this part of the Arkansas River are classified as Class II-V, we had no problems getting down. Our guide knew how to navigate every named rapid perfectly with his 18 years of experience on the river. It was in mid-September so the water levels and currents were fairly mild compared to an early Summer ride, so that minimized the chances of a flip or someone getting thrown out. The staff was always polite and friendly and their facilities are very well maintained. I would highly recommend Raft Masters, and we'll probably do the RG again when the water levels are higher to experience a more exciting ride.
