We had a great time. Our guide Ree was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and shared details about what caused the different rapids and scenery down the river. We also saw the beautiful bald eagle couple. Our daughter didn't think she would enjoy it, but she was all smiles the entire trip. She loved it and was so glad she decided to go. Our son loved the adrenaline rush! It was truly an unforgettable experience for our family!
