When you are close to the Colorado River, you should do a white water rafting trip, right? But, what if you have no experience, have nervousness about the trip, or have children with you- that complicates things! Our guide Nate helped to prepare everyone for a fun and safe trip. I especially admired the way he spoke to one of the kids on the trip offering encouragement and reassuring words, "I believe in you. I know you can do this." As an adult, I told him of my anxiousness about the trip. He smiled and tightened up my life jacket and then kindly gave me a seat in front of him on the boat. We had plenty of fun and games as we traversed over mild rapids and great conversation floating down the gentler parts of the river. It was a great experience overall. Our boat had ages 7-50 including teens. Everyone had fun! *Paddle together like they tell you. Sunscreen! Protect your phone. Bring water. Oh, and don't forget to tip your guide! :> Thanks, Nate! We loved it!
