Summary:
Thomas picked us up and headed for the start of the course after we put on the wet suit. A short but steep hike leads to the start of the river. We dive in to pools, slide into them. Rapple and jump from rock ledges, the highest 30 feet to the cool pools below. The wet suits kept as warm and Thomas did a great job leading the group , in a calm and safe manner.
It was a blast and highly recommended fun activity.
