“Rafted the North Fork with our grandkids. River was high enough to be thrilling but not so high as to be frightening for the 6 and 4 year olds. Daniel was fabulous with the kids and provided us with extra gear we lacked when we arrived. His knowledge of the area was wonderful and he kept us enthralled with tidbits of info about the area we were floating through. You can tell he loves what he is doing and his enthusiasm added to the trip - we all had a great time!”
