My wife, my college buddy, and myself originally wanted to do an easier trip but it was only running for parties of 6. The woman at ART reassured me that we would be fine even though we never rafted before.
WOW. What an amazing day. WARNING, river was only 820cuft/sec and we've all go pretty extensive ocean kayak experience but it was 100% manageable for us. Our guide Austin was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the river, the rapids, and everything in between. He had a great attitude, was interesting to talk to, and did everything he could to make sure we had fun and got down the river safely at the same time.
Highly recommend this trip!!! We were in Colorado for 10 days and this was definitely the best one.
