“We had such a great time during our 1-day rating trip in Idaho. It's perfect for all skill levels and was a fun way to experience the rapids. Our guide (Steve) was a lot of fun to hang out with and did a great job guiding us through the white water. For lunch, Steve made us brats and burgers with an avocado bean salad, cookies and chips. It was a delicious and a pleasant improvement from what you typically get on river trips.”
