My first time river rafting. Had a fun, enjoyable experience! Office is right next to Chalk Creek Campground which I have booked a stay before and was very nice!

Did the Salida Valley trip with my two pups - first time rafting for my dogs, they didn't particularly enjoy it but us humans loved it, very relaxing and gorgeous scenery. Adam and Lisa were awesome, felt very safe with Adam as our guide. Look forward to going back without my dogs next time!
