When I see the Guides taking pictures, smiling, laughing, joking and having fun, it warms my heart. that's what happened on my trip with Skinny, Saha, Marade, and Josh. The professionalism, expertise, manners, and kindness cannot be overstated with this group of guides we were blessed with. They did not "baby" our group like many trips would. They were absolutely there for safety 1st, but this trip was anything but a fake Disneyland Experience. These trips are as real as things can get real. This time, we looked Several Big horn sheep in the eye, from 30 feet away, in silence, for several minutes, in awe. These trips down the Colorado are actually, by definition "expeditions". Each trip is priceless and unique and each time I have been on one I walked away thinking it was actually worth MORE than I paid to go. As far as the food prepared and provided on this trip, by the guides, it was as fantastic! The last night, we had shrimp cocktail, thick- cooked to order New your steaks, wonderful salads, and more side dishes. At one-point mid trip, they had rock hard vanilla ice cream over freshly cooked peach cobbler right out of a cast iron Dutch oven. Another thing about these trips, is the other passengers. Because these trips take more preparation and desire to go on, you typically get a VERY "high quality" cliental on these trips. My group was a felt out awesome group of different highly talented and brilliant people from all walks of life. By the end of the 7 days, we all made good friends. I will say one thing about pictures from this trip. Most pictures serve as memory prompts, but do little justice to the absolute speechless beauty of the canyon at water level. Thank you from me to the Western River Organization for creating such a gift for us to use! Dan, Napa Ca
