From our arrival at 8 a.m. everything went so smoothly. Continental breakfast to begin, followed by safety talk and how-to's and what to expect for our day. Guides were very knowledgeable and it was evident they loved their jobs. Glen, our guide, was attentive to every detail and all three guides served us a wonderful lunch--gourmet sandwiches--after we'd gotten completely soaked by the rapids. We all pitched in with our oars and had a wonderful day. Thrilling. This stretch of river has everything to offer--beautiful landscape complete with ospreys, bald eagle, occasional fly fisherfolks, but surprising little traffic on the river--something to be praised.
