Family Rafting - A great activity for a family that spans 3 generations. It was the first time rafting for most of us and we are ready for the next challenge.

Family day adventure - From the beginning of our planning with trip advisor was easy! Thank you for that. We had all details needed and even Mountain Waters Rafting contacted us before the trip to see if we had all the information necessary and even let us know to call them back if we needed anything. We had such a great experience. Thank you trip advisor and Mountain Waters Rafting for a wonderful family outing.
