This excursion was marvelous! Our guide, Hunter, was skilled in navigating the river, and we enjoyed his historical information of the area.

Rhys was an excellent guide! The river was a mix of peaceful downriver floating and exciting white water rapids. They even had a shore-based photog who captured amazing pics as we went through some white waters. This is a wonderful river run, beautiful, green Durango + some exciting white waters. Rhys made us super comfortable and provided all safety instructions. He is top notch!

We wish the water had been higher so we would have had more white water but Chase made the trip enjoyable. The water park was really fun.

Mason was amazing! One of the most fun activities we’ve done as a family with our 3 and 5 year old boys! We highly recommend. The boys were taken out of the boat during the class III rapids making it very family friendly.
Highlight of our Durango Trip

The La Plata Canyon jeep tour was the highlight of our Durango trip! We did not intentionally plan our trip for prime colors but it turn out perfect. The colors in the canyon and the waterfalls were truly stunning and pictures just didn’t do the scenery justice. The jeep ride was a great adventure with the right amount of crazy. We stopped several times for photo ops and to do short hikes. Our guide John was very knowledgeable about the history of La Plata and shared numerous folklore stories and pointed out memorable landmarks. He was determined to make our day spectacular…which he definitely achieved. Absolutely ask for John if you intend to book this trip… you won’t be disappointed!!

A great time

We had a great trip on the Animas river. It was the perfect combo of rapids and floating. Not too rough for kiddos. Even was a fantastic guide. We really enjoyed bull riding and surfing.
