Every part of the experience was amazing! The scenery is beautiful, the rapids are exciting and challenging, and the staff is wonderful. Both halves of the trip are sprinkled with short opportunities to catch your breath and enjoy the bounty of natural beauty between adrenaline-inducing rapids. While each whitewater section presents a unique challenge, it's at a very doable pace. I never felt like I couldn't keep up, but I was certainly never bored! The guides are knowledgeable, skilled, and engaging, making the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. I'd recommend Garrett, Dietz, Spencer, and Quinton because they give clear directions about safety and technique, yet still make sure you're having plenty of fun. The entire experience exceeded every possible expectation I could've had.
If you do only one outdoorsy in the Rogue Valley, make it an Orange Torpedo trip!!
