Testimonials

"Well organized, excellent lead guide, great food, wine, beautiful environment and group of people."

"[I most enjoyed] the camaraderie, campsites, food, professionalism of the guides, the zoo naturalist, and the fun! We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would love to go again."

Liz O'Rourke, Golden, CO

"Head guide Pam maintained a perfect balance between safety conscientiousness, chef, and social director. I was quite appreciative of Pam's direct, to-the-point safety talk that educated but didn't frighten. On the river, she made sure that everyone knew the safest way to proceed... On land, she made us all aware of the basic dangers, but let us play and enjoy ourselves. This was actually very important, as I've taken girls to a scout camp where literally no one was allowed to run or even stand on rocks because someone might get hurt. "

Charlotte DeMott, Ft. Collins, CO

"[I most enjoyed the chance] to venture into a unique environment with knowledgeable and experienced guides! The herd of bighorn sheep were very healthy and the sighting of a bald eagle in a cottonwood tree watching us float by was exceptional."

Dan Kunz, Golden, CO

"[I most enjoyed the] friendly helpful staff, great attention to safety issues, great food, quality trip into wilderness not a lot of people ever get to see."

Jack Boettcher, Denver, CO

"The experience was awesome. The guides were knowledgeable and made the trip fun. My 1st canoe trip. The whole trip was worth it."

Tess Eisner, Denver, CO

"We believe [the guides] should be up for sainthood since they were cordial and very professional..."

Suzanne Newlin, Montrose, CO

"Each [guide] was not only professional and competent but kind in the way they showed us the drill, and cared for our happiness, comfort, and safety. They're really good at not making anyone feel like a dork while learning canoeing skills."
