Our guide was Ethan and he was fantastic! We had a 14 year old and an 8 year old and he engaged them both throughout the ride. He was funny and enthusiastic, pointing out all the rock formations and the names he’d come up with for them. The kids thought it was hilarious (so did everyone else!).
We even got to surf a rapid. None of the other boats in our group got to do that and it was so fun! We all got soaked and had permagrins the whole time. From the safety/education talk from Sarah, to Jose fist bumping everyone and wishing them luck as we got off the bus, to Ethan being a top notch guide, this was one of the best rafting experiences we’ve had (my husband and I have been multiple times before).
To make a teenager smile for the 2 hours we were on the river is an accomplishment. Thanks ART for making our family trip to CO one to remember!
