We had a blast on our trip up La Plata Canyon to Kennebec Pass. Our guide Alex was hilarious, knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. He was very accommodating, knew all the best places to stop, and was an expert photographer. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jude MansellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul took us on an amazing adventure up the La Plata canyon. Paul's commentary was top notch. The scenery was stunning & the wildflowers were absolutely beautiful. We even got to 'rescue" some stranded travelers.

The trip was fantasticPosted on Google Tahni LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family had a blast tubing. Jack was very helpful and informative. He even gave us $4 for the trolley (we didn't end up needing it).Posted on Google Tiffany HagenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our trip down the Animas River with Sammy K. as our guide. The water is low so we couldn't avoid getting stuck, but she navigated us so it didn't happen too much.Posted on Google Anna NickensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Important Considerations
- Tubing can be hard work especially at lower water levels. There can be a lot of rocks to avoid and difficulties in finding the deepest channels.
- The lower the water is, the more challenging it is. A better option is often a guided inflatable kayak trip. The guide will navigate you through the passable channels and your shuttle is taken care of!
- No open containers of alcohol are allowed on the river.
- No glass containers.
- Pack out all trash and dispose of it in the proper receptacle.
- Dogs must be on a leash on shore and dog waste must be cleaned up.
- Respect private property and do not trespass.
- Be polite and courteous to others on and near the river.
- When approaching anglers, move away to the opposite side of the river to pass.
