A few years ago, after many years enjoying rafting the Animas on our own, we had to sell our raft due to injury circumstances. We wanted to keep enjoying the river; especially at "sporty" CFS. This was our first year choosing Durango Rivertrippers. Due to COVID and that we are older, hubby and I wanted to be on our own with the guide. Rivertrippers willingly accommodated our request for 2 person private boat. (We admit after a terrible situation for outdoor companies, it was a bit of a request for them financially). All parties made it happen for my birthday; the river CFS was exciting that day. Our guide, Bruce was not only professional and a skillful oarsman/instructor, but a seasoned outdoors man. A guide like that allows you to have confident fun while grabbing some adrenaline. Bruce, thank you!
