We did the numbers and Browns Canyon with WA. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly and their facility is first-rate and located right on the river. We had two great days of rafting and will return again when we're in the area. more

They also get you suited up and down to the river timely. We were in a group... more

Had a great time bantering with the front desk staff and the guides. Go with the warm weather package any day under 80 degrees for sure. Well worth the money. I'd also suggest getting spray... more
