It was a hot day, what a better way to cool off than a rafting trip in Durango! We had an experienced guide, Calista, who navigated us around rocks and got us paddling when we needed to! If we ever got stuck (which happened a few times!) she jumped out of the raft and guided us back on course. When we hit the rapids, we were watching people flip out of boats and rafts left and right in front of us! In the end, we all made it and had a great time. One of the highlights was stopping at a swim area and everyone jumping out to cool off! The challenge was getting back on board. It was just like being in the best movie you have ever seen, the mountains were all around us, groups of locals tubing and people on shore with picnics and many large dogs loving playing fetch in the water! It was very picturesque, and the rapids were the grand finale. A trip to remember for a lifetime, super glad we went.
Tip: buy the photos for the extra it is, they gave me photos of everyone emailed to me when we got back and it was fun seeing us from all walks of life falling in, laughing, and having a great day so I could relive the moments...and share with friends, of course!
