Summary:
We arrived early for our scheduled trip and the staff was great with starting early for us. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was just us two on the raft with our guide, Josh, and we had such a fun time. Josh was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. He gave a great recommendation for a place to eat in Durango when we were done, and it was delicious. (RPGS)
We didn't expect the rapids to be great as we knew the water levels were low, but we knew that when we booked the trip. We had a good time anyway. Josh only had to get out to push us 2-3 times, and it was still an adventure regardless. This time of year would be great to take younger kids on a rafting trip, plus since it wasn't so rough I was able to take my camera with me (my choice) and I got some great pictures of the river. We even saw a baby bear running along the river bank! Great memories!!

Summary:
Lots of fun! We went with family including 2 small boys age 5 & 7 and we all had fun. Water levels are low as it’s near the end of the season but our guide made it fun and the kids already want to go again.

This was such a fun adventure! River was low during our trip, so not the white waters we had anticipated, but still fun and our guide was a good time!
