The river, of course, was the star, but the trip was made excellent due to the company organization and the three guides that knocked it out of the canyons when it came to professionalism, work ethic and great attitude. Would recommend a trip like this to all who were interested in a river adventure. Leave your cell phones in the car and get connected to family, friends and nature. Well done, OARS and our guide team – thank you.
