This is a wonderful company! Brief history: this rafting company was founded by members of other rafting companies that wanted to have more control over their trips. All the employees were very helpful and wanted to be sure we had the best possible time on the Colorado River.
We booked a half-day trip and were looking forward to it. We got a call the day before and were upgraded for free to a full-day. This was because they needed a full boat on the full-day trip. That was a great surprise! We showed up at 9:15am and got our gear ready. It was unfortunately a chilly, cloudy day, but we were given rain jackets that kept the water out. Our rafting trip started at the Pumphouse drop-off and ended at Rancho del Rio. The water level is VERY high right now (about 7 times normal) so the trip lasted only three hours instead of the normal four to five hours.
Our guide was nicknamed Mouse and was EXCELLENT! He has been a river guide for 21 years and is very respected in the area. He had some great stories from his experience. We went through calm waters on up toe Level 3 rapids. Mouse was a great guide, letting us know what to do when and how things needed to be done. Because we were on a full-day tour, we also stopped for a picnic lunch along the river. A great spread was put out to eat! Then we headed back to Kremmling, CO (office location). It was a great trip and I think everyone should go white water rafting! -

WOOOOOHOOOO!
I've gone whitewater rafting a few times, but this was one of the best. The guides were really knowledgeable and friendly. The ride went smooth and we were able to hit class III and IV rapids on Clear Creek for about 13 miles! It was affordable and great for the whole family. They do offer easier rapid trip for the youngsters. They also offer day trips, or half days in the morning or afternoon. When I return to Colorado, I will definitely go through this group again!
