Our experience on the 5 day Yampa river trip was great. The guides ensured that our experiences on the water, in camp, and on hikes were the best. The scenery... read more was better than expected, it exceeded expectations each day of the trip. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a varied menu each day that was exceptional for camping food. Our thanks to Kass (owner) and guides Peyton, Rain, Lauren, Luke and Marcus for going the extra mile to provide a memorable trip.

5 day trip on the Yampa was fantastic! The guides were a blast to spend our trip with. We had high flows, big water and hot weather, and they rowed... read more with confidence and perfect lines for THE BEST splashes! Couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable experience!

If you are looking to reconnect with nature all I can say is wow. Stunning scenery. Exciting rapids. Incredible time spent on a true adventure. Worth every single penny. Special... read more thanks to our incredible guides (Ben, Jacoby, Austin, Davis, Peyton, and Donovan) who were professional, courteous, fun loving, and true river rats. Appreciate the education about the areas history. Thanks to you Austin, I have new respect for what you do after getting a turn at the oars. Last, but not least, Yeehaw, but not on my front porch. 😜

Our large family was disappointed when the day of our rafting trip arrived cold and rainy. We hadn’t prepared ver well for the weather, but the DRE crew hooked us... read more up with warm and waterproof gear. Jim provided safe transportation and local color, while Jess guided us confidently down the river and helped our kids feel safe and have fun. Our picnic lunch on a quiet beach was memorable. When we returned to the DRE base, they had donuts for us and said they felt bad about the weather. It wasn’t necessary, but it showed they cared about our experience. Thanks for everything!
