My wife and I had a wonderful time with our guide Emmet – he was very skilled and would frequently call out which areas of the river or specific rocks he was targeting and we would hit them every time. His team was very clear about safety and I felt like we were in good hands. We had about 30 people with us that day, and they put all of the folks from Texas in one boat, made it kinda fun especially since Emmet had never been to Texas. This trip was very cool because you spend about 1/3 of the time winding through the downtown and the rest of the time through the in-blemished beauty of southwest Colorado. I didn’t need a wetsuit, the sun kept us warm but you would get splashed 4 or 5 times by very cold water, but that only added to the excitement, it wasn’t even uncomfortable – just a wake-up. We had several moments where people were getting tossed up and down but your foot cups give you a place to easily secure yourself. I will be rafting again with this company.
