I highly recommend All Season Adventures. We had an amazing time cross country skiing with Tina and Allie. It was our first time on skis and these ladies were so patient and so accommodating. I appreciate so much their kindness and professionalism! I highly recommend All Season Adventures if you are looking for a top quality guide service in Park City, UT.
Such an epic day with Ally in the Uinta backcountry! Tons of powder made this quite a workout for us sea level chicks, but we did it! So peaceful and exhilarating!
We had a wonderful snowshoeing experience! Collin adjusted pace and distance to suit our needs and provided interesting information about the area. We would highly recommend this outing!
Great experience snowshoeing the Ontario trail with Chris, our guide. He was super - interesting, knowledgeable, and read the group well! I enjoyed it more than expected! Highly recommend.
Me and my group had the BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! I cannot talk up our guide Tara enough. Me and my group have never done any snow sports at all and we’re all newbies to the snow and snow shoeing. Tara was so kind a patient and confident in teaching and guiding and explaining the things we would see along the way as well as the wilderness and important sightings on the hike and so many amazing tips! This was the easiest process I’ve ever had with a guided tour. I will recommend to all my friends coming out this way. I will be returning!
Had a great time snow shoeing with All Seasons! Lucas was an amazing guide! So knowledgeable about Park City and the terrain. Five Star service!!!
Highly recommend, we had a wonderful time! This was a very unique way to experience a swamp, and it was really cool to paddle up close to all the exposed tree roots and knobs (we were there during low waters in early Oct). Jess was very communicative both before and during the tour. It was just the two of us that day and we had a great time talking with Jess, who is very friendly. It felt like the best of both worlds of getting a eco-tour from a knowledgeable guide and also hanging out and getting to know someone. It's clear that Jess loves nature, and she really loves sharing the swamp with others - thank you Jess!
Highly recommend this tour if you want to have a most excellent adventure in the Honey Island Swamp region of Louisiana. Jessica was very knowledgeable and absolutely entertaining. Loved her enthusiasm about birding - huge plus for us as avid bird lovers ourselves! She also gave us tips on maneuvering our kayaks in and around the swampy Pearl River area. We had so much fun and made a beautiful memory with my dear friend from Missouri!
Thank you Jessica!!
Thank you Jessica!!
Amazing experience with a super knowledgeable guide. Call her and she will pick you up from downtown. Could not have been easier. She is born and raised in the area and had a deep connection to the natural landscape. She has also done some incredible work organizing cleanups and stewarding the land. Bonus that it is a woman owned business. Can’t recommend this tour enough if you’re interested in getting an authentic experience while respecting the environment.
The best tour I’ve ever taken, by far. Jessica, and her family were so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and safety oriented. I learned so much about the this pocket of swamp. Jessica knows her stuff, genuinely loves what she does and goes the extra mile to ensure it’s a great experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Great Bikes - Wonderful Trails!
Sure enjoyed renting a couple of e-bikes from Samantha and riding the Rio Grande to Carbondale and Glenwood Canyon to Hanging Lake. Everything is so biker friendly and the people are so friendly. Thx GCB!!

great staff, super helpful and great equipment. Always willing to help with support provided throughout the day. Really recommend
They are very good at making sure their guests have a wonderful experience. Great guides and they are very nice!! If you want to have a great adventure, book these folks.
We had a great time at Poconos Whitewater Rafting. We did the family rafting with our 8-year-old and she had a blast. The guides Madison, Creek, Kyle and others were great. It was definitely appropriate for younger children and the guides kept a good eye on everybody. All staff members, starting with the phone call to schedule the trip, were amazing and professional. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back soon for the Damn Release!
This was a great trip! The staff was super friendly and fun, the sights are gorgeous and the adventure was fun for the whole family. Definitely would recommend!
My friends and I did two activities with Blazing Adventures - Jeeping and Rafting. We loved our guide the first day - RYAN L. - and so requested him for the second day. He is very knowledgeable, smart, interesting, humorous, fun and astute at reading his audience (how much and what kind of banter). He's great with kids. We loved his obvious passion for the town and Colorado.
Blazing Adventures is a well oiled machine and both trips were organized and ran very smoothly. We enjoyed the jeeping, getting Ryan's insights and felt it was worthwhile vs just seeing the mountain from the gondola. Rafting was great fun! We were extremely impressed with how Ryan guided the raft with minimal help from his inexperienced "crew", constantly looking far ahead and reading the river, rowing, and simultaneously pointing out things of interest, providing history, context and humor. He kept us safe and we had a blast.

Super fun! I went on a 2 hour horseback ride and loved it. Our guide April was personable, informative, and great. Was nervous at first but all staff made it inviting and fun. Definitely recommend it’s a must if you are in the area.
This place was amazing! From start to finish these guys are the best in the Poconos for whitewater rafting! First the free parking which is secure and easy walk to the check in. The check in process was fast and efficient! The hot chocolate was superior and a great way to start our day! The guides were excellent and prepared us well for our adventure! The life jackets, ores, and the rafts are in top notch shape. The bus ride to the water was fun and well ventilated! The water was great as we booked a dam release day but did it family style which means a great fun filled splash day down the white water then you have a. Amazing barbecue lunch with grilled hot dogs, Martin’s Sea Salt chips, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with lemonade/ water. The picnic area was clean and plenty of port o potties which were clean and well stocked with paper products and hand sanitizer. This is a top notch well oiled machine business! Wirth every hard earned penny spent! My family and I highly recommend!
Jeremiah was so awesome! He let my kids “ride the bull” and they had so much fun.
He was personable and very knowledgeable and we felt safe. Especially when our float changed from this gorgeous weather in the pictures to a torrential downpour, he helped us navigate safely back to the transport van. Highly recommend this float company and the addition of the professional pictures so you can focus on making these awesome memories.

Great relaxing experience. Ben was a great guide. What beauty we saw including a bald eagle 🦅 flying by. We did the scenic so if you want more rapids this is not the one for you. We also got to feel the hot springs up close and personal which was very healing.
Our rafting trip was EXCELLENT!! Our guide Cross was great, very charismatic, engaging and in total control of our raft. We would highly recommend anyone to take a river journey with Defiance and enjoy the river, rapid’s, scenery- enjoy the beautiful canyon and all it has to offer!! Tim
WOW! WOW!!! WOWZA!!! What an amazing experience! . We got all the safety information and instruction for the “if this/then this,” fitted with helmets and life jackets.. We did see other rafting companies on the river who did not require helmets. I’m so glad safety is top priority for Defiance Rafting.
A short shuttle to the launching point. I was near tears I was so scared. Our guide, Demitry was phenomenal!!! She gave last minute instructions prior to launch. No more time to be scared as the rapids were right there!! AMAZING to take them on-one right after another for the first 20 minutes of the trip. Our group worked together as a team as Demitry used her expertise to navigate us through each set of rapids. The duration of the trip was floating down the Colorado river. The scenery is breathtaking. There are small rapids along the trip to keep it a bit exciting and fun. At no time do you feel like you want the trip to end!
Demitry shared many facts and history of the river which she researched and learned on her own - amazing young woman! She was fun and clearly loves being a tour guide and, and white water rafting. She works hard and it shows from beginning to end! Demitry shared many of her past adventures throughout her life, and was very personable. If we had questions we could ask she was an open book! I just cannot say enough good things about her, her knowledge, and her expertise! I’m so glad she shared it with us! Thank you, Demitry!
I recommend bringing a hat for face protection from the sun. I also recommend bringing a water bottle and a small sunscreen. I also recommend bringing something to take photos. Waterproof phone case would be perfect! To intense to take rapids photos, but so many gorgeous and fun things along the way where it would be safe to take photographs. Colorado sun is hot! Not to worry if you get overheated, there were stops along the way where you could jump in to cool off!
I just cannot recommend Defiance rafting enough! AND WOW!! Check out our photos!!!!

The staff really made the experience top notch. Vibrant, full of energy and cheesy dad-esque jokes, they really made everyone comfortable and at ease. Super helpful with answering any questions/concerns with professional knowledge. The rafting experience was amazing, beautiful views and exciting thrills traversing the whitewater rapids. Wife and I were very happy with the decision, my teenage daughter even admitted to enjoying the experience. That's a rare gem!
We had a great family day rafting on the Colorado River. Glenwood Adventure are a highly professional, exceptionally well organised, well equipped with kit for loan, hire and sale. We went on a Grade 2 route and for the afternoon the children (aged 8 & 10) went in 1 & 2- man "duckies" down the rapids. A fantastic experience! We saw 3 bald eagle, a mule deer on the river bank and plenty of turkey vultures overhead. An enthusiastic and engaging guide - thank you Claire!
My family and I had an absolutely fantastic two-hour horseback riding experience with our guide, Taylor. From the moment we started, it was clear that Taylor's expertise and passion for horses made the adventure even more enjoyable. Her friendly demeanor and clear instructions put everyone at ease, whether they were experienced riders or beginners like me. The ride itself was breathtaking, taking us through picturesque trails and beautiful landscapes.
Taylor's deep knowledge of the horses and the area added an educational element to the experience. She shared interesting tidbits about the local wildlife, history, and horsemanship techniques, making the ride not only entertaining but also informative. Her ability to connect with the horses was truly remarkable, ensuring they were comfortable and well-cared for throughout the journey.
I couldn't help but be impressed by Taylor's professionalism and dedication. Her enthusiasm was infectious, creating a lively atmosphere throughout the ride. She was patient, answering questions and providing assistance whenever needed. It's evident that she genuinely loves what she does and is committed to making the experience unforgettable for each participant.
Thank you again to Taylor! Her exceptional guidance, combined with the stunning surroundings, made for an incredible adventure that I won't soon forget. This experience truly exceeded my expectations, thanks to Taylor's expertise and genuine warmth.

Our 1/2 day tour on the Colorado River with Defiance was absolutely amazing! The entire staff is the best out there and our guide Mike was truly spectacular! Friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable! Very highly recommend and river rafting trip you plan to do so with Defiance!
Took the Razor ATV tour this morning with Eric. Absolutely fantastic tour! The equipment, the experience, and the tour guide were superb..additionally the ranch is gorgeous, as you travel from the Colorado River level up to the treeline you experience different terrains and gorgeous scenery. Highly recommend.
Some friends suggested a weekend getaway, so we made a reservation at Pocono Whitewater for a Dam Release trip. We had an amazing day on the water. The whole process was seamless, parking, check-in, briefing etc. Our guides gave the briefing and we used every bit of information they gave us. What an adventure, you had moments of calm relaxing float down mixed with moments of excitement as you were challenged by the class I, II & III rapids. I can't wait to go do it again... We also did the bike ride the next day which was equally as fun. Kudos to a well run company.
We took our family whitewater rafting for the first time. The guides gave us a fantastic and very safe experience. We're planning to do it again next year!!
We had a great time rafting with Defiance. They are top-notch.All of the staff and guides are very nice good-humored folks.
Cross was our river guide and he is a fun down to earth guy! Never a dull moment. The river was like an angry glass of chocolate milk that day! We were told it was rare. We saw a bear riverside! I wish Cross all good things as he writes life's story. Waiting to see your work in National Geographic someday! Good luck and best wishes from Kansas. Thanks Defiance!

A first float for much of our family did not disappoint. We felt safe the entire float, and it was a hilight to this long over-due and much needed family time. We were a group of 8 ranging in age from 8 to 64. Our guide was engaging, fun, and happy, which was a big plus. We selected a scenic and gentle float and saw numerous bald eagle, osprey, and other various bird life. We relaxed and "soaked in" the beautiful scenery. There were several short class 2 rapids, just enough to add some safe excitement. We also engaged in splash wars with other rafters (from this same company).. which was really so much fun. We highly recommend this company for their dedication to safety, a well rehearsed process, and an obvious priority to assuring that their clients have a really great experience.
I came to Colorado from the east coast to hike, for the first time. Blazing Adventures Aspen set me up for a half-day hike with a wonderful guide. The guide and the office staff were outstanding for friendliness, timely and courteous replies, and being supportive in my requests. I can't say enough good stuff. I recommend them highly!
Best trip I have ever had!! Me and my daughters had a blast it was the perfect amount of everything! Incredible unforgettable experience! Mitch and Peter were the best guides and led us safely and excitingly through the rapids!
We have absolutely loved the activities we have done with this company. We did the jeep tour and the white water rafting during our vacation. Highly recommend this place. Our tour guide for both days was Grace and she is amazing. She was so patient with our son who was very scared of the rafting. He ended up having so much fun that he wants to do it again.
We had so much fun! Definitely make sure to bring water with you and sunscreen.
We had Brandon as our raft guide, he was awesome!
They have great options for beginner rafters who don’t want to “go all in.”
Defiance even emailed us the proofs of our rafting trip after it was over and I was so happy about it because we completely forgot to look at them after our tour. Definitely but your pictures, you won’t regret it.

Our guide Ian was awesome . We were on full day float with lunch provided. The first half was in the large raft then we got to do the duckies for the second half . I would highly recommend Defiance for your white water rafting adventure!
Grace and Peter were AWESOME, friendly, knowledgeable, and super fun! It was my daughter’s first time rafting, and she couldn’t get enough! I just hope every future rafting experience is as perfect for her as this one!
Excellent way to see the town and then some. The shop will quickly and easily fix you up with what you need to get you on your way on an E bike. Jessica in particular delivered excellent customer service.
Its worth taking the ride up to Carbondale (12 mi each way) (stop at Whitehouse Pizza, you wont be disappointed) passing beautiful and diverse scenery along the very well maintained bike trail. You don't have to be back by close of business as they have after hours drop off too!

The best provider to go on white water rafting.
This is our first rafting experience and all family enjoyed. The staff is very helpful and always therenfor us to help and explain in details.
The whole trip is 8 miles and it took about 3 hr 45 minutes in the water and lunch break about 20 minutes. The bus ride to/from the rafting place is about 40 minutes.
Overall very smooth and nice experience and definitely 5 star rating. I recommend to everyone this for a day family fun adventure activity.

We had a good experience at Pocono Whitewater Rafting. Once you arrived and checked in, they will provide life jackets that is mandatory for everyone. They will then go through a safety briefing. Then you will take a 20 minute bus ride to where you board your raft. Your legs or bottom half (depending on how tall you are) will get wet when you get into the raft. Once you're on the raft, your group will be able to paddle between the staff in the front and the back. Staff was friendly, informative, and safety-oriented. You won't be able to swim until you get to the designated swimming sections. Water is cold, so you won't want to jump in unless you don't mind the cold.
Because the Dam Release was not available on the date our group went, we did the Family Style Whitewater Rafting which has some rapids but not too many and not too intense. Most of the time, the water is pretty still and requires at least a couple people paddling. Also, water can get shallow meaning you can get stuck on rocks which requires some effort to get out of. We got stuck a good number of times which wasn't too fun, but we made the most of it. You'll be rafting for at least three hours, and it can get tiring. I am not sure if they finished us early, but once we were done, we took another 20 minute bus ride back to the site.
We had a group of 13 and were broken down into two rafts. Overall, a decent family fun experience that can get a little lengthly if you are not prepared for it. Bring some water, but nothing valuable because there is nowhere to store them. There are flushable bathrooms and changing rooms. There are also equipments to rent and food and drinks to buy.

Literally one of the best trips & guide groups ever! Dillon was awesome! Cross & Logan too! Heather the owner & Gregory were a pleasure to work with. Treated all 17 of us with respect & kindness the whole day! Book a day trip w/ lunch! You won’t be disappointed! 10 ⭐️ From the boys and girls of @SOCOSolar + Power
Easy check-in, bike sized for each of us, and shuttled to the 15 or 25 mile trailhead.
Really nice store for bike related items. Pleasant workers.
Bikes didn’t have fenders so our backs got splashed in the wet conditions. Bike seats were not comfortable.
Beautiful ride and bikes performed well

I just took 30 people here. It was a fantastic time when knowledgeable guides who gave us a spectacular adventure down the rapids. I'll be taking my people again next year.
I don’t leave reviews often, but felt it important to call out (in the most positive way) this company. My family and I rented some bikes and were shuttled to our destination. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed and were made to feel very comfortable. Cannot say enough good things about everyone we encountered, in particular Chris, who shuttled us to our drop off point. He gave us tidbits on areas we would encounter, the town we would be passing through, and hit a home run with his lunch recommendation. This was a highlight of our trip. Thanks guys!
We had a great time on our excursion. Shelby was our guide and did an amazing job. You arrive and check in, get your gear, then there is a safety briefing. You hop on a bus for a 20 minute ride to the river. We chose the Family Style White Water package. It’s 8 miles of river (not gonna lie it was tough physically) with a break in the middle for lunch. I would 100% recommend trying it if you’ve never been.
What a great experience! Super friendly and kind with a great merch selection. We were walk-ins and they had plenty of selection available; we were out the door in no time. 10 out of 10 recommend!
Excellent experience on the sunset backcountry dinner! A jeep tour to a remote, cozy cabin in the woods by a lake and dinner by the campfire under the stars listening to relaxing live music. Our driver Dylan who is also a rafting guide was very friendly and pleasant. And so were all other Blazing employees on this trip.
The food was very tasty - cowboy veggie soup, salad, choice of salmon and ribs. Yummy! If it rains dinner is served in the small pretty cabin.
Overall, very pleased with the sunset dinner. A great way to experience nature and have a unique dining experience. Restaurants in Aspen are so pricey - this is a good choice. Would highly recommend!

Our rafting trip was super enjoyable! Our guide, Maggie, was outstanding! A great conversationalist and very knowledgeable about the local area! The rafting trip we took was absolutely beautiful! The only issue we encountered was since the water was too high on one of the rafting trips we were interested in, the front desk staff offered an alternative trip which sadly didn’t seem to have as much action we thought we would be getting on the route we wanted. That being said, the rafting trip we took was still great!
Had a blast. Bounced out of the raft twice. But it was all fun. Beautiful day. Great guides. Very friendly, kind and helpful.
An Unforgettable Rafting Adventure with Glenwood Adventure Company
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
I recently had the pleasure of going on a thrilling rafting trip with Glenwood Adventure Company along with a group of 8 enthusiastic members. It was our first time experiencing the joy of rafting, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations, leaving us with unforgettable memories.
Right from the moment we arrived, the Glenwood Adventure Company team made us feel welcome and ensured our safety throughout the entire journey. Their professionalism and expertise were evident from the start. The guides especially AXEL and MICHAEL were not only knowledgeable but also enthusiastic and passionate about what they do, creating an atmosphere of excitement and adventure.
The rafting experience itself was nothing short of spectacular. The river we traversed offered a perfect blend of thrilling rapids and serene stretches, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of nature while experiencing an adrenaline rush. The guides skillfully maneuvered the rafts, providing clear instructions and ensuring everyone felt comfortable and secure.

This was our first time here and we had a great time! I have an 11 year old a 9 year old and a 4 year old and all of us had a blast. It truly is fun for the whole family. My 4 year old daughter is also handicapped with a left leg amputation and the staff went above and beyond to make sure she was not only included but kept safe as well. Other places have turned us away because she is not “able bodied” enough in case of an emergency. But not this place! They put a guide on our boat with us to ensure her safety. I want to personally thank Alex (the guide on our boat) she was very professional,competent,helpful,friendly and amazing with the kids. She really helped to make the experience one to remember! So thank you Alex! We can’t say enough good things about you :) The staff are all very friendly actually. There are a lot of people in these groups and only a handful of guides. There is a bit of “waiting around” to make sure everyone has gotten their safety briefing as well as making sure we all stay together and nobody gets left behind. It’s wonderful just to spend time with the family out in this beautiful scenery, the “waiting” wasn’t even an issue for us we just heard some people complaining about it but with this many people on this big of a river, they need to put safety first. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning :)
Pretty fun, but there was a lot of waiting around. This is my second time going here, signed up for the dam release, the safety briefing was relatively quick, the bus ride over was pretty terrible. We were sitting for a significant amount of time. We were told at the beginning we would have our own raft (as a group of 3), but they joined us with another group of 3, so slightly annoyed, but the guys were alright. One of the guide kept pronouncing my name wrong. Overall was fun, I would definitely recommend at least getting the lower half of the wet suit and shoes if it’s cold, the top half seemed a bit unnecessary. There also seemed to be a lack of instruction, our group got ahead and the guide didn’t really give us any instruction. only other complaint is pricing on the photos, they tried to get us to buy 2 digital copies for $25 each (really?). Other than that most of the staff was pretty cool. Just wish it was a little more organized.
Great experience! Renting a bike was quick and easy. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. We rented the e-bikes for the day and it was perfect! The staff recommended the Rio Grand Trail to Carbondale. We loved it and the bikes were amazing! My wife and I highly recommend GLENWOOD CANYON BIKES!
Fantastic tour! Jessica is so knowledgeable and created a fun and relaxed environment for everyone. Both Jessica and Mike are passionate about what they do and it's great to spend time amongst the Cypress. Logistics were clear and easy, perfect for beginners or experienced kayakers alike, great activity for all!
We had an amazing afternoon with Jessica and Mike paddling around the beautiful waterways just outside New Orleans. Great communication and genuinely wonderful people. Jessica is very knowledgeable about the fauna and flora and history of the area and created a warm atmosphere where 8 strangers felt like a group of friends exploring the bayou. They were also very flexible and created a new tour for us to work with our schedule. Highly recommend.
Amazing tour! Worth every cent. Jessica was so knowledgeable, kind and charming and we enjoyed every moment of the beautiful kayak tour. The kayaking was easy - very stable boats and quiet and still waters.
We had Jessica all to ourselves (three people) and her husband helped us get into the water and back on land. Amazing value for money.
Thank you Jessica!

This was such a great way to start our time in New Orleans! Jess, the owner and our guide was super kind, accommodating and very knowledgeable. My wife and I were thrilled to find a tour that was locally run and committed to conservation rather than focused on feeding alligators. The cypress swamp is so beautiful and unlike any other landscape and it was absolutely filled with all kinds of animals. Jess was knowledgeable about each organism and shared her expertise in an engaging way. It’s clear she has a great passion for wildlife and the community and is a local expert in the field.
We booked the trip a little last minute and Jess was still able to pick us up and drop us off from our downtown hotel for a reasonable fee which we really appreciated (about a 40 minute drive each way). She was a responsible driver and shared lots of her local knowledge and her own stories along the way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the real deal of the local swamps. Thank you!

Today at noon, All Seasons Adventures picked us up from our hotel and took us to the River location. The guides were all amazing, knowledgeable, and had great personality! This was my first white water rafting experience and they made me feel safe, well informed, and comfortable. This is a must-do activity when you visit Park City, Utah! They had bathrooms, shaded table areas, and water bottles on hand. Our tour guide Melody was wonderful! She pointed out different areas along the river and canyons and was very informative about these different spots along our ride. She was very patient and had interesting stories to tell along the way about Utah and River Sport adventures. We had a great time! Thank you to Melody and the All Seasons Adventures Team!
Blue was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable, patient, funny, and great at his job. The rapids were actually livelier than I expected for a Minnesota river. Our group of 3 dads and 3 sons had a blast!
Booked a last minute adventure and I'd say it was so worth it! The experience was great and the views along the river were incredible. Kat was our guide and she was amazing, very knowledgeable and never a dull moment! Everyone at Glenwood Canyon Rafting was super nice and friendly. I'd 100% recommend them and would do this again when I come back to Colorado. Thanks for making our trip so memorable!
I contacted cascade river gear to get a quote on a aire super puma. Cascade replied on 03/21/22, "here is a quote on a Super Puma. We are still waiting for our Super Pumas to be delivered. One in blue should arrive any day now then the other two are closer to 5/1/22. They will sell fast so let me know if want to throw a deposit down on one. Cheers! I wanted the blue puma so I put a deposit down of 1/3 the price quoted as directed. I was excited about getting the boat because we boat all year in western North Carolina and spring is one of the best times for river running. On 6/17/22, close to three months later I received a voice-mail from cascade that my Super puma was in and if I paid the the balance plus shipping they could ship it right away. As soon as I got the message I called and gave them my credit card number for what I thought was the balance of what I was quoted when I paid my deposit. When I received a message for the amount charged to credit card it was close to $600 dollars more than the balance I was quoted when I paid my deposit. I contacted cascade and was told that they would not give me the Super Puma for the price quoted even thoughI had put a deposit down. I requested my money back on principle and have not received it yet. Please beware of deception by cascade river gear. I have had great service from Northwest river supply, Backcountry, Rocky Mountain Rafts and outdoorplay. I suggest using them instead of cascade river gear. Hope to see you on the river!
Had a return/ warranty issue. They resolved my issue quickly and put me back on the water as fast as they could. Not only was the initial purchase from them spectacular but the follow up customer service was all that better. Will definitely be doing business with these folks in the future.
Really bad experience with this company. I paid for an order and they never ship it to me. Never got reach out with an explanation or anything. When I called after several attempts and a few employees saying they where going to call me back and never did. The third day I finally was able to talk with a supervisor who told me me order was cancelled
Well yeah that was obvious!
My item was sold out and they can’t send it to me now.
Just a waste of time dealing with this kind of companies that don’t have neither serious business relationship with their clients nor good customer service.
If you want to take the risk and go trough a hazle go a head and give it a try.
Other ways it is plenty of companies out there. Save yourself a headache.

Great rafting shop. The store is huge. They did an awesome job getting us outfitted with rentals for our Middle Fork Salmon trip! A little tough to get a hold of during the busy season, so I would recommend stopping by in person.
Absolutely fantastic experience! Pua was an awesome guide. The trip was well worth it, loved the Shoshone rapids section. Be prepared to get wet!!
Great service and great guides! We had Mitch, Mitch, and Taylor on both of our adventures (sunset dinner and Upper Roaring rafting trip). They are awesome! Both trips were fantastic! My mother in law said this was the best rafting trip she has done and everyone else (wife, father in law, myself and our 5 kids) thought it was awesome as well! We use Blazing Adventures every time. They are a top notch outfit!
Nice easy day of river rafting. Same comparison as skiing in MN Vs out west :) Guides were great and very helpful. Owner helped with our Scout who experienced a seizure while waiting to get started and got paramedics there quickly. Bus ride back was little cramped as there is no way you are getting 3 adults per seat in the short bus so 7 of us opted to stand for 13 min drive.
Wyatt our guide was awesome and made us feel very confident in taking our 4 year old down the shoshonie rapids. We cant wait to go again they also took amazing photos for us. Best part of our trip for sure! Very accommodating for all our request!
Our group of 6 had an incredible experience at Glenwood rafting. Our guide Leelee was amazing so funny, informative, and very personable! Would highly recommend!
Side note: traffic into and out of Glenwood Springs is heavy on Sunday - we wished we would have stayed in Glenwood Springs after rafting vs traveling back into Dillon. Although the overall drive into Glenwood was stunningly beautiful.

We rented 3 bikes and none of them were any good. The bike I was given, the drivechain would make a creaking noise every time I'd go uphill. My wife's bike wouldn't stay in the middle gear on the front ring, and would only use either the biggest or smallest ring. My son's bike started making clicking noises an hour into our ride.
When they first gave us our bikes, on both mine and my son's bike the brakes were rubbing one of the wheels. While they did fix them both; they didn't realize the brakes were rubbing until I told them, which indicates they don't do regular maintenance checks. This also makes me think that, if I hadn't complained about the gearing on my wife's bike, the next person to rent that bike would have the same problem.
Several of the helmets they first gave us had broken adjusters. This was easy to notice and they brought replacements before we departed the store, but this again calls into question their general maintenance/quality check process.
When we were returning our bikes, another couple were returning their bikes and reported that a pedal fell off one of their bikes.

When my wife and I decided it was time to go big and order a completely new raft and related outfitting we turned to Cascade River Gear to make it happen. Angela, Max, and Cascade River Gear crew have been great to work with. It takes some time to get everything dialed when making a purchase this big, and they were a big help along the way. Had a couple of shipping mix-ups, but CRG hopped right on it and bent over backwards to get me what I needed as fast as possible., even with all the supply chain issues during COVID-19. Will be patronizing Cascade River Gear for many years to come.
Best customer service in the business.
So with COVID canceling the guiding season I decided to upgrade a few things on the old bucket boat and head up to do an early season float on the North Fork of the Flathead. I called before ordering to make sure everything was in stock, it was. I ordered a frame and some soft goods. The soft goods arrived but no frame. I called and turns out there was a misunderstanding, the frame was not actually in stock but being drop shipped from NRS who was super backed up. I had to leave in 2 days to make it work with the shuttle I figured the trip was blown. They had 50 pounds of frame OVERNIGHTED to me. I don’t want to know how much that cost. A quick fit and we were on the road.
The trip was great, we were the only boat on the river and it wouldn’t have happened with out Cascade River Gear’s great customer service.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Canyon Bikes!
I was looking to buy a bike in the "offseason" as I was going to be living in Carbondale for a few months and Canyon Bikes came to the rescue. Their staff and the owner were both incredibly helpful, responsive, and knowledgable about which of their bikes might work for me, and they set me up on a great Giant! The owner even called around to other shops to other bike shops to find the pedals I was looking for when they didn't have any left.
Furthermore, the owner went above and beyond to drop off a part for the seatpost where I was staying in the valley as their shop was closed. I am floored by the generosity and helpfulness that was demonstrated!

It was a great experience with these folks. The guide was super polite and took us through very adeptly. Only drawback was that we had to wait really long due to unforeseen delays but the staff was polite and handled it well.
Great customer service. I went in today to exchange a speaker I bought for the middle fork, it got a little beat up on the trip and worked until the ride home when it started to bug out. They swapped the speaker out with minimal interrogation. Thanks for the easy process. The speaker is awesome, glad they replaced it with one that will function properly.
We've spent 3 days in Glenwood Springs and these folks made our vacation unforgettable. They made us a full package RAFT+PARK+POOL+Hanging Lake by bike at a very good price. We had everything scheduled in few minutes and all adventures were simply amazing. Great stuff, young, punctual, professional and full of energy and fun! Thank you folks! You are great!
Just wanted to say thanks to Patrick, Cameron and Max for always being patient and friendly when I’m asking questions and ordering they truly know their stuff, and if not, they’ll find out and get back to you! Whether I’m calling in an order or down in Idaho they are so very helpful and pro. Thanks again guys
"FAST IS FUN" - WHITEWATER RAFTING!
Friday afternoon Kathy and I checked "Whitewater Rafting" off our bucket lists! And we didn't fall out of the boat! 🤣
WE LOVED the 3-hour trip - through 6 sets of rapids - down the St. Louis River, starting at Scanlon, MN - Just south of Duluth - It was outstanding! The weather was beautiful and the water was 72 degrees! WILL DO IT AGAIN!

Loved this experience and can't wait to go back! I would recommend this company to anyone. The staff is professional and friendly and safety is their number one concern. We had whitewater rafted in Colorado and got thrown from our raft twice. We were leery to try it again but read the reviews and decided to give it a try with MN Whitewater Rafting. We are so glad we did! Our guide, Craig, did an excellent job of instructing us and the rapids were impressive. It was just right for our family!
Canyon Bikes was very helpful when I left a wheel at home. I got a used wheel from another shop, and they got me set up, even providing a spare quick release at no charge. Thanks!
What an awesome memory making experience! I took my 72 year old mom and my 2 teenage kids. We had a blast with Joey as our guide. Thank you so much for being a part of a life long family vacation memory!
This is a smaller company. With really experienced instructors. We had a lot of fun. You could tell they loved their job. The views and rapids were some of the best I've experienced. Should have done the full day. They served lunch too. It looked really good.
What an awesome trip down the river. Our guide Joey was very knowledgeable super casual and fun to chat with along with making sure we were all safe while having a good time. We plan on coming back this spring and doing it while the water is higher.
And there are natural hot springs to check out while you float down the river.
