“My family (1 adult, 2 kids (ages 5 & 8) had a wonderful time on our 3/4 day rafting tour of the Gunnison River. Our guide Landon (my kids called him Mr. Lando) was awesome and really knew how to keep the tour entertaining and fun. Daniel packed us a delicious lunch and we were able to stop and do a hiking tour to the petroglyphs as well. Truly awesome tour. Highly recommended if you're going to be at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison anyway as it's so close. Thank you, Western Slope SUP!”
