My wife, son, and I really enjoyed this trip. The river was beautiful. Before lunch is a nice easy float with awesome views of the gorge. Then had a great fajita lunch. After lunch we rode the rapids and had a great time. Our guides Hannah and Jack were awesome. Highly recommend this trip.

I wanted to take my 12 yr old daughter whitewater rafting for the first time and so I was looking for great guides and an experience that would make her want to go again. We got both with this trip. Tony and Liam were terrific and helped us have a day she will never forget. It was the highlight of our trip to New Mexico. She can't wait to get out on the water again. Thank you for such a great experience!
