Perks:
Professionally Guided Trips:
You will always have at least one trained guide on the trip with you. Whether they are in your boat or in their own boat depends on the time of year you come; but, you will always have the comfort of a professional showing you where to go down the river.
Varying Water Levels:
Because this river is spring fed by all snow and rain runoff, the water levels tend to vary greatly throughout the year. With varying water levels, there are 5 different sized boats that are used on this river. If you come in the spring to early summer, you will be in a group raft of varying sizes. If you come in the summer, you will be in an individual raft. Every size raft is a completely different experience from the next. That’s what makes this river so awesome, there are never two trips that are the same.
Independence:
With being in your own raft, you will be in control of the steering and the power of your boat. This allows you to hone in on your paddling skills and explore the river, with a guide leading you down of course. People love that they are in full control of their boat.
Warm Water:
With this being a spring-fed river, it is a perfect temperature during the summer.
