This kayak adventure Had it all! Nelson our guide and Tyler our van driver Prepared us for the trip with safety instructions and pointed out geological and historical fun facts unique to this area. Once we got to the river they ensured our safety and comfort in the raft and for me the inflatable kayak. The river itself provided a scenic journey with just enough rapids to provide some excitement but not too much for this adventurous grandma! The water was brisk at 55 degrees and a stop at some hot springs was a welcomed interlude! Eagles, otters , fascinating rock formations were spotted as the 1100 CFS current carries us comfortably downstream. I didn’t want it to end but when we came to the pullout there was a delicious spread of fruit and sandwich fixings for all! Thanks to AVA adventures and Nelson and Tyler for their expertise, engaging personalities that made this an experience not to be missed!
