    With an exceptional track record spanning hiking, rafting, and rock climbing adventures, this outfitter consistently delivers through their talented guide team. Names like Jared, CJ, Tanner, Jake, Boyd, and Perry come up repeatedly, each praised for their expertise, safety focus, and ability to make adventures both educational and fun. Guides go above and beyond—lending gear to unprepared clients, spotting wildlife others miss, pacing beginners on their first 14ers, and tailoring rock climbing routes for mixed-ability families. The company shines at accommodating last-minute bookings and changes, with several reviewers noting same-day arrangements and flexible trip modifications. Whether you're tackling Quandary Peak for the first time or navigating Colorado River rapids with kids, guides strike that perfect balance of knowledgeable and laid-back. They share historical facts and trail tips while keeping the mood light and engaging. Multiple families specifically mentioned feeling safe with young children along, and first-time high-altitude hikers credited their guides with getting them safely to summits they might have otherwise turned back from.

    We had a perfect rafting experience. The whole trip was so organized and our hosts gave me great ease as they were all very knowledgeable and pleasant. Jake was our guide. He was full of info about the history and ecosystem of the area. Boyd and Jason, the other guided were super helpful and kind, especially to out kids on their first rafting experience. Weather & conditions were perfect! Loved the view of the canyons and railroad from the river. Saw beavers and bald eagles. Thanks for the great pics, Jake!
