We chose Wilderness Aware due to fantastic reviews here, and we were NOT disappointed. I was a little anxious about the experience, and we were reassured by the professionalism on our phone call asking questions. Upon arrival to the very modern facility (which includes a shop if you've forgotten anything, and a changing room), check in and equipment rental was very easy. Tony was by far the most knowledgeable guide of anything I've experienced just about anywhere. He knows every inch of that river and how to guide a group through safely. He also set up a beautiful lunch! We chose Brown's Canyon vs the Numbers, unsure how we would feel with the rapids, and in retrospect, probably would have enjoyed the thrill of a faster river, but have no regrets about our beautiful day and the extraordinary experience Tony provided for us.
