When my husband said he wanted to go whitewater rafting, my immediate reaction was "No way!" It took some convincing but eventually I agreed to go... and I am so glad! We chose Browns Canyon because it seemed like some excitement for him but manageable for me. Our guide, Bret, explained everything very well before and during the trip and I felt very comfortable with his expertise. I would definitely suggest this trip, and Bret in particular, if someone in your group is apprehensive. It's a good balance of rapids and non-rapids. In the end, I had an awesome time and my husband and I are already planning our next adventure. We will definitely come back to Wilderness Aware.
