Who: myself and friends Where: browns canyon Buena vista Absolutely Incredible Ride! If you are booking a trip, do yourself a favor and ask for Pat! From the moment we hit the water, Pat brought incredible energy, unmatched expertise, and a ton of fun to our trip. Pat knew every rapid like the back of his hand, gave crystal-clear commands, and kept us completely safe while making sure we got the absolute maximum thrill out of the river. Beyond being an elite guide, Pat was just awesome to hang out with—great stories, hilarious jokes, and a fantastic attitude. Pat turned a great day on the river into an unforgettable adventure. We’ll definitely be back, and we aren't paddling with anyone else!
