Aside from the beautiful scenery, the guides truly make this trip what it is. Spending time with my family, meeting others from around the country in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. An incredible experience that we will never forget!Read More ›

I took this trip with my three grandchildren, ages 16-9. We all had a blast. The river and the rafting were amazing, but I expected that. What surprised me were the myriad other activities, deigned to entertain and delight adults and children alike, that were offered. The kids never missed their electronics and I barely had time to read. The...Read More ›

The nature aspect of the trip is as perfect as expected. The Adventure Quotient was exhilarating and as professionally led as you would expect. Again, expectations. Being met. But it was the Human Experience that I found to be so surprising and so deeply satisfying.

22 of us, and I knew 4 of them, so 17 individuals I knew from nobody...Read More ›

Western River Expeditions is the best of the best! Every meal was wonderful, and camping was my first,...Read More ›

The majesty of those walls felt like a warm red hug all six days. I had to learn how to have nothing to do, a necessary skill I’ve lost and refound. There were no mosquitoes and lots of big horn sheep. No cell service ushered in creativity and connection with teenagers and the rest of us. We made water slides with our tarps, played night games,...Read More ›

We had amazing guides in Lucky, Skinny, Shelby and Bridger and they educated as well as took care of our every need. Almost everyone on our two rafts were part of a...Read More ›

Our group of 11, ranging in age from 13-73 yo, had a fabulous time. The Western River raft trip down the Colorado River far exceeded my expectations. The phenomenal guides are professional, knowledgeable, and entertaining, and they made us feel comfortable the minute we stepped on the boat.

Delicious meals with fresh fruit, fresh baked...Read More ›

I have multiple autoimmune diseases, one affecting my heart and another affecting my stomach as well as I have an allergy to gluten and dairy.

I am not a person who can be out in the sun very long I get very sick and in the past to much strenuous...Read More ›

My buddies and I had done the Grand Canyon Upper and Lower several times but approaching 76 I knew that hiking in or out int he heat might be tough. The WRE Cataract Canyon was great because there were no mandatory hikes. Guides were great including Isaac and Ian who had the same names as my grandsons!, Fellow Guests were considerate. My...Read More ›

The Second best experience in my life. Marriage with my Wife was the first. Bad thing , she doesn’t do rapids😥. Food was excellent, Crew was excellent, weather was Hot but the rapids kept us cool. Scenery’s were spectacular. Stars at night were also spectacular. So glad I did this. Thank you. J-rig rafts are the best.
