The best part of our vacation!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/09/09
We loved the rafting trips we took while on vacation in Estes Park. Yes I said tripS! We had booked the all day trip on the Colorado before we arrived and even though you have to get up early and drive 2 1/2 hours to get to the water it is all well worth it. The drive was beautiful up Trail Ridge Road which took you to the top of the mountains above the treelines. We had Derek as our guide and he was just great!!!! Very funny, entertaining and a just all around great guy! We went on Sunday and the their were 5 boats in our trip with around 20-25 people total. We had a few good rapids which were fun but we got to know our guide and the couple our family of 4 was put in a raft with. We had water fights with the other boats, did the rodeo and also saw real dinosaur tracks. They provided a great sandwich lunch which was included in the price of the trip. We loved the 1st trip so much we booked another trip (the shorter, more rapids trip) later in the week. We loved the excitement of this trip also but it was quite short. We had a really nice guide also but not really enough time to get to know anyone on this trip. We enjoyed both trips and felt like the money was well spent but the longer trip was definetly our favorite. Thanks - we will definetly tell everyone how great you guys are!!
