The guides were absolutely amazing. They dealt with challenging weather (wind) like Champions. Their dedication to safety and the respect they show the river and surrounding area is to be commended. The only recommendation i would have is to not offer the 3 day for Gates. Stick with 4! I did the 4 day trip many years ago and felt the extra time to do hikes etc while at camp was just as fun as the rafting. I wish I would have tacked on another day in hindsight. Other than that…Awesome!
