My two teenagers, my 10 year old son, and I booked a half day morning rafting trip through Browns Canyon on our recent visit to Salida. We chose this company to raft with because their departure time was earlier than the other nearby rafting establishments (we were able to explore St. Elmo and soak at the Mt. Princeton hot springs after we rafted). We had such a fun time and our guide, Alex, was awesome. The water levels were a bit low and we did get stuck on some rocks a few times, but overall we had a great experience and we all enjoyed our morning on the river. Safety is definitely their #1 priority so as a mom with three children I really appreciated that. All of the staff were so friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. We didn't once feel pressured into renting unnecessary gear or purchasing items or photos from them. This is a Christian based company, but none of their employees felt it necessary to push their personal beliefs on us. We happen to be a family of atheists so we really appreciated that they weren't at all "preachy". Near the end of our rafting adventure, Alex did ask us very politely if he could say a prayer of thanks to which we agreed was perfectly fine. It was such a nice, sweet prayer of gratitude that I gave hima fist bump when he was done. One last thing that I would like to add is that they do sell day passes for the Mt. Princeton hot springs for half price (huge savings). In closing, I would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in rafting the Arkansas. You won't be disappointed!
