Our family of four loved the half-day trip, and wish we would have booked for even longer! Nick was a great guide and made us feel confident of his ability to keep us safe while showing us a great time. We appreciated the laid back vibe and the information Nick shared along the way. The shuttle to and from the river was quick and easy. We will be back next summer, hopefully for an overnight trip!

Our guide, Blaze, was amazing. Nine of us (including two grandkids (ages 7 & 8) were able to go on one raft and it was so much fun. Plenty of excitement for the adults with class 3 & 4 rapids, but Blaze made sure it was safe enough for the kids. I would highly recommend Mountain River Outfitters, cant wait to do it again next year.

We had a blast! Before booking we only knew what we say in the reviews. Pretty decent so we thought to give them a try. Glad we did. Upon arriving we were offered coffee water and soft drinks. The guides were very knowledgeable. Our raft had 4 adults and two teenagers. Everine had a great time. The guides were knowledgeable about the area and had some fun during the trip. I won't spill the secrets but you will enjoy.

We had a perfect 1/2 day trip on the rapids with our guide Jada. She helped ensure that our group, which ranged in age from 10 to 82 years old, equally had the best experience.
