This rafting trip was a fun and adventurous way to spend half the day while in Cañon city! My 9 and 11 year old loved it.

Taylor was such a wealth of knowledge. He taught us the basics of white water rafting. During the slow parts he had a plethora of information about Bighorn Sheep Canyon. I appreciate having such a great guide along the way. We all had such a great time, I am thinking about going again next year.
