    We had a wonderful time , great tour guide friendly and knowledgeable. We are from Wisconsin little experience with horses they matched us up perfectly to our horses , Jamba my horse was a gentle giant ! Thank you so much for the beautiful horse back tour

    The route we took.  This is an example of what you will see.

    6-21-21 Ride. The ride was fine, about what I expected in terms of visuals. Went through some woods and hit a couple of crests with some nice views. The guide was friendly and made conversation the entire ride and stopped for opportunities for photos. The negative- there was no quick brush up on how to ride a horse. How to hold the reins, for example, would have been helpful. Maybe an opportunity to take the horse around the yard for a second to get familiar. Second, and my biggest gripe, and why I gave 2 stars- I paid for 2 hours. We left at 11:30 am and returned just before 1:00 pm. So I was shorted 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it. Would you pay for a 2 hour massage and be okay if it ended 30 minutes early? Would you be okay if you paid to see a 2 hour movie and they shut it off 30 minutes early?

    Trail through the aspens.

    Had a great time! Four of us went out on a last-minute trip. We had two guides with us because art of the group was out for two hours, and the four of us just went 90 minutes. We had a newer guide who said she'd known Ginger for years, and that Ginger takes better care of her horses than any tour company around. Her horses all seemed strong and healthy, and had plenty of room to romp around and enjoy themselves. We paid in cash before the rise started, and tipped the guide at the end. We all enjoyed ourselves and thought it was well worth it! We saw some really nice views that we wouldn't have been able to reach on foot (were not big hikers) and got to see a lot of old mines and ruins. Not a full history lesson or anything, but we had a great time. The aspen trees in July were absolutely breathtaking!

    Loved this experience. Ginger is so knowledgeable and is full of fun facts about the area. We did a two hour ride and it was the right amount - we got to see beautiful views of the mountains (Ginger explained what each one was), we rode past old gold mines and learned about mining in general, we went up and down lots of paths and even went off trail a bit to avoid a fallen tree. Overall very authentic and fun. Ginger knows what she's doing and will answer any question you have related to horses or about the area. I would highly recommend this experience!

    My boyfriend and I went on a two hour ride today with Barb. She was a great tour guide , very knowledgeable about the surroundings. The trail goes through some awesome aspen groves, we saw some really cool old mining sites and ruins. Amazing views even better with the fall colors at their peak. All the horses were very friendly and gentle. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the cost for the 2 hour is a bit higher then some places, but i really wanted to go see the old mines and fall colors, so it was worth it! I highly recommend going while the colors are still in full bloom.

    On top of the mountain!

    Ginger called me the day before to let me know that I-70 was going to be closed and gave me an alternate route.

We both have experience with this company from rafting the Upper Salt River in AZ. Unfortunately the water levels didn't cooperate but, the rafting company modified the itinerary to give us the best possible adventure possible. Day upper upper Browns Canyon which led to class I've and the use of duckies. Operation am not a fan but, half of our group loved them. We were then driven 1.5 hours away for our dinner and tent camping (3 miles from our put in). Ryan and Eric our guides cooked a great meal and catered to the group. We awakened to a mist and heavy fog, which we were served pancakes and sausages for a warm breakfast, and let's not forget hot coffee. We then departed at 8:30 for our trip down the Royal Gorge were we hit class in rapids, lots of class 3s, great geology, good company, lots of fun and a great experience. Ryan our lead guide and Eric did a great job for 2 days of providing us a great experience and memories. You have many choices but from a personal experience this is the best company to deal with. We are already planning next year's multi day trip.

It was our first time (any of us) doing a raft trip, and he helped make us great. We cannot sing his praises enough. The trip we booked is typically supposed to be 2-2.5hr and it ours was extended to about 4hrs due to circumstances. Again, so upbeat throughout the entire trip.

It's definitely a large operation. Check in for us involved a 100 people or so. But they've got it down. Don't plan to bring much/anything with you honestly. You can choose wet suits, dry jackets etc... It was 75 degrees in July here so our family split between wet suits and dry jackets. The latter was the better choice. You take a 30 minute school bus ride and some quick safety instructions (thanks Erico!) And then get assigned to your boat. Ours included 8 of us and a guide. Honestly that was too much but okay. Our guide was Tristan who was fantastic. Funny and engaging with fun facts along the way. But more importantly you could tell he was taking safety seriously. We did the browns canyon ride and it was a good mix of slightly challenging for the kids and fun for the adults. All in all it was a great way to spend half a day!

    Hi all! The…read moreAdventure Company was very professional from start to finish, and they were fun too. My family and I went rafting, and at that time, the Arkansas River was really high. There were some rapids that were very exciting, and the water was really cold, but it was funny for everyone else when I was getting soaked in the front. The water is COLD, but you get used to it pretty quickly. The rapids relaxed down in about 10 minutes, and it was a pretty smooth ride for the rest of journey. The total trip was about an hour and a half, which is a good time for younger kids. David was a great guide, and he was funny and entertaining, yet knowledgeable and passionate about many things adventure. He trained everyone in the raft the do-s and don't-s of rafting, and made sure everyone was prepared in case of emergency. He showed the techniques of how to maneuver the raft, and how to 'rescue' your buddy if they fell in. We had ages 7-57 in our group, and it was fun for everyone. If you are a beginner or have younger, more senior people in your group, I would suggest a level 1-2 experience. If you have a group of more confident, or medium-good physically fit people who like a bit more adventurous time, I would suggest a higher level of rapids. The rest of the staff in the office were very friendly, and the office and amenities were clean and organized. They had changing rooms, and clean guest bathrooms complete with showers if you so desire. They have free lockboxes for you to leave your keys or other valuables if you need. They offered picture packages, but allowed you to take whatever devices you wanted on the raft. They advise against it, and take no responsibility for your lost items, however, they did not prevent us from bringing them (we did not bring our devices). It was a little bit of a hike from Dillon, Frisco area. About 2 hours drive, but the scenery is amazing, and with good company, it makes an easy drive. You pass through some interesting towns on the way if you want to stop and get lunch or dinner! Overall, this was an awesome trip!
