We had an awesome day with Herb and the Pedal Paddle excursion. First Melissa answered my many questions over the phone to make sure this was appropriate to take my boys, ages 13 and 16. Herb took us on the excursion and was knowledgeable, safe, fun, and so helpful (carried so much on his bike!). It was an exhilarating downhill bike ride of an old mining road, then we inflated the rafts and floated down the river. The river wasn’t flowing very quickly due to drought and early July, so my husband had to tow my 13 y.o. a bit, otherwise we would have been out there even longer than the 6 hours that we paddled. Great views, peaceful time on the river. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Thank goodness Melissa shuttled the truck to our take out point so we didn’t have to ride back up! This was a highlight of our 2 week trip
