With a lot of our trips having been canceled this summer due to COVID-19, we wanted a quick but active trip that our whole family would like. We went on the rafting trip through Westwater and it was a great experience! We invited 2 other families to come with us and they accommodated our large group well, even following social distancing guidelines as well as possible. We never felt unsafe because the guides thoroughly explained safety measures and all possible scenarios. It was hot while we were in the canyon but our guides made sure that we always had shade and plenty of cold water. The food they cooked for us was delicious and they even made a special pineapple upside down cake in a Dutch oven to celebrate the 4 graduating seniors in our group. The guides on our trip were nothing short of knowledgeable and entertaining. We had Jack, Josh, Joey, and Garrison. The guides were great with the kids, and as we had a rambunctious group of outgoing teenagers, we were grateful that the guides didn’t seem annoyed by them. The teens said they especially enjoyed bugging Garrison with questions and naming a rapid after him. Thank you Holiday River Expeditions for the best memories of the summer with friends and family!
