River Rafting tour - Getting there was truly an adventure, but once we found where we were going everything was great! Our guide Tanner was simply the best, he was top notch and very knowledgeable of the area and what he was doing. He made it a worthwhile tour. Curry and Kera

Great Taste of Class 2 & 3 Rapids in a Kayak - We kayaked the Upper Colorado River, 1/2 day in single duckies. Boats were great. Tanner & Dustin were fun guides, but took their jobs seriously. It was a very nice taste of class 2 & 3 rapids, which we hadn’t done before. And they got great pictures as we went down!

Fun day on the river - This time of year the river is cool and not too rough, maybe rated high 2/low 3 rapids, which is perfect for me. Our guide, Tanner, was excellent. My family and I felt safe with him, and he was very personable and knowledgeable. The other guide, Dustin, was also excellent. There seemed to be high regard for safety from both of them. I highly recommend a half-day rafting trip.

Great all around day! - A great day on the water with Dustin and Tanner. They are experienced guides with knowledge and a wonderful sense of humor. The trip is safe and the rapids are gentle, but fun. It was safe every step of the way. It is a perfect way to spend a day in the mountains.
