The 4 day trip was awesome. The operation was very impressive. The team of Anna, Jackson, and Mika really pampered us. We had sunshine and rain. The trip was memorable.Posted on Google![]()

A lovely trip, led by VINCENT, who didn’t let a few raindrops dampen our spirits, but kept us entertained and educated along the way as we paddled through Cat I and II rapidsPosted on Google![]()

Our guide was Darren and was exceptional. The entire tour was enjoyable and as a guide he was very patient with a few of us that had mild disabilities. He was very knowledgeable about the area.Posted on Google![]()

Our 4-day trip exceeded our expectations. The guides-Anna, Jackson and Mica- were fun, knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area. The organization and communication of the trip from initial planning to execution was exceptional. The food they prepared was fantastic — fajitas, eggs and bacon, fresh fruit, salads, tortellini, french toast, steak, fresh mashed potatoes potatoes! We watch the stars and Jackson literally pointed out so many key constellations. The guides were so talented taking us thru the 30 rapids - safely. Meeting our expectations on the “mild to wild” experience. We’re already talking about the next trip. Thank you Anna, Jackson and Mica.Posted on Google![]()

We are a group of 70+ women who love an adventure. But we chose a more Mild than Wild and our guide Max accommodated us wonderfully. Great trip.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great tour with Ann. Being a long term resident and tour guide of the area she had unparalleled knowledge of mesa Verde and the first people to live there and many who came along after. Our group of four had a fun and informative afternoon
