    Super fun tubing down the St. Vrain. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it was an easy process to rent tubes and accessories.

    Take a cool ride down the river! Adventure West River Tube is your destination to make the day fun!…read more The single or double tubes have handles to hold on for your rapid ride! The beautiful river that looks like a leisurely ride actually has 7 rapids! They also provide life jackets and a helmet if you choose to wear use them. The river entry point is a 20 min walk with the tube. I chose to pay a few extra dollars and have a van take us to the entry point and skip the walk. You can go down the river multiple times as your price is for the day. It is a couple dollars cheaper on weekdays. Tubing is something everyone should try at least once. The ride down the river in Golden Colorado is exciting and scenic!

    I have come to Denver two summers in a row now and plan for it again next year and this is on the…read more"must do" list, not because it is some crazy adventure but because it is fun, and easy, and the people are great! It's super easy: book ahead, you get a tube rental and two rides to the "top" with the price. It's cold, even when it's 97 degrees out! But you get used to it. All ages can do this. If you're nervous, you can get a life jacket and a helmet, but we haven't felt the need to do that. It's NOT a lazy river but it's also not a cat 5 white water experience. It's just fun. And then a plug for the Golden Mills Social Hall afterwards for drinks and food!

    I've rafted with Liquid Descent multiple times, and every single trip has been a 5-star experience!…read moreThe guides are not only experts at keeping you safe, but they also make sure you have an unforgettable time on the river. This year, I went early season on Clear Creek and loved it so much I came back late season for Gore Canyon- an adrenaline-packed, fun adventure! The day started with a swim test to make sure everyone was prepared before tackling Class V rapids. (Honestly, if you're not a strong swimmer, this trip isn't for you, they do test your swimming in the rapids and throughout the trip over half of the people across our 5 rafts ended up in the water at some point! Additionally this would be quite the dive into the deep end if you've never rafted before!) The trip was an incredible mix of thrills, skill, and crazy beautiful scenery you would not have guessed was there when you drive into Kremmling. Midway through, we stopped for snacks, and when we wrapped up, the crew served a delicious lunch and cold beers (NA options were there too!) such a nice touch after a big day! What sets Liquid Descent apart is the crew. Every guide I've had has been dedicated to making the trip special. I've talked to them and many of them have said they specifically choose to work here because of the company's extra training and the sense of community. I even met the owner yesterday at Gore Canyon, and you can tell the company's passion for customer experience comes directly from the top. Specifically the last 2 guides I've had, Jordan and Malia have been awesome! Yes, most rafting companies use the same put-in/take-out points and similar gear but the experience is what makes the difference. With Liquid Descent, the guides make sure it's the best it can be and their love for their job ensures you're going to have a great time. I've rafted with other companies in locations where liquid descent isnt and know: the right guide changes everything. If you're looking for an unforgettable rafting trip in Colorado, Liquid Descent is the company to go with!

    I can't say enough good things about our experience with Liquid Descent. My daughter and I signed…read moreup for the beginner rafting trip... and while she was excited... I was terrified. I was so nervous walking in, but from the moment we arrived, every single staff member made us feel welcomed, safe, and supported. Our guide, Koa, was the perfect balance of fun, kind, and incredibly skilled. He guided us through the rapids with such confidence and ease while also making sure everyone felt safe and included. He checked in on us several times throughout and made sure we were having fun, asked us if we wanted to "spice it up" a bit or keep it mellow and just really let us know this was "our" trip and he's cater to what we wanted. I quickly found myself letting go of fear and enjoying the moment... something I didn't expect would happen. Koa's energy was contagious, and his calm, respectful nature made us feel like we were in the best hands possible. At one point on the river, another rafting company had a mishap and we had to pull over and wait for them to recover and get their riders back into the raft safely. Koa explained what had happened with total grace - no judgment, no gossip - just a calm and respectful explanation. He also spoke so kindly of his own coworkers and even the owner of Liquid Descent. You could tell he genuinely cares about the rafting community and takes pride in his work and LOVES his Liquid Descent family! Every employee we encountered was friendly, encouraging, and helpful - from getting us fitted with helmets and life jackets to cheering us on as we headed out. As someone who started out nervous, that kind of supportive vibe made a huge difference. They encouraged me, and they helped me push past my comfort zone in the best way possible. What a GREAT memory! We will remember this day not only for the thrill of the rapids, but for the kindness and heart of the people who guided us through it! If you are considering rafting in Colorado, go with Liquid Descent. I'm so glad we did!

    I had good time tubing but this big guy at the table out front named Hudson made me very…read moreuncomfortable. There was another one with curly hair who told my dad he could speak great Spanish but my Dad had no idea what he was saying. He said it felt like the guy was trying to flirt with him and it made him really mad and I agree with my father, its very unproffesional. The one short brown haired guy was extremely helpful which was the only good experience. The blond one told me it was a Lazy River and that he caught small fish but enjoyed the nature and wildlife.

    Do not book with this company because there is terrible customer care. We booked 2 days with a…read moreguide and were told the guides would contact a week before the trip. One of the guides, Pete contacted us as was absolutely amazing. We learned about him taking his grandson fishing and even about his dog. Pete was in constant contact making sure we had all the info, directions as there is very poor cell service where we will be fishing. We even decided to bring special treats for his dog. The trip is scheduled for tomorrow and we are so excited, all our gear is laid out including 3 bags of dog treats. My wife and I left multiple messages with Golden River Sports saying it was for Travis explaining we were extremely happy about how wonderful Pete the guide for Wednesday is but not a word from the guide for Thursday. After days of no phone calls from Travis or GRS I called and explained we are not comfortable or happy about the lack of professional conduct from Thursday's guide or GRS so cancel Thursday but we are excited about how great the guide for Wednesday is. On Tuesday We finally get a call from Travis and he says has no clue about any of this he was just confirming our booking. I explained there is a big issue with professionalism and communication with GRS and we canceled Thursday but were very excited and were very impressed with Wednesday guide Pete. He stated " thank you for bringing this to my attention but I don't feel comfortable about sending my guide out with you. I said I'm just bringing this to your attention and love working with Pete. He said he was canceling our trip! At this point now I'm mad! I try to help this guy and tell him we have no problem with Pete and it's your company that has the problem. I then stated I better not see one penny charged on my credit card!!!so we drove here from Iowa, rented an Airbnb waiting to go on our bucket list fly fishing trip and paid all this money to squeeze in 2 days of fishing. Now I ask you would you want to trust your money or precious time with a company like this??? Buyer beware!

    Wow. Grand Lake is so beautiful. My husband and I came up for a few hours from Granby to enjoy some…read moresnowshoeing. The rental process was very simple and they sent us out with the map and a few recommendations. We absolutely loved the 2.5 mile loop trail at the beginning (going clockwise around the loop), but about 1/5th of the way around the loop, the trail and sine age completely disappeared. We did follow snowshoe trails that (we ended up learning) were developed by people who just made their own trail. It was impossible to know which way to go, and crazy enough, we had four bars of service with AT&T while on the mountain, so we called back to the Nordic Center for help, and they recommended we head back towards the Nordic Center the way we came, so we did. It was a little disappointing since we never made it out to the river or to see the bridge, but you can only be disappointed for so long when you're surrounded with such beauty.

    Our first time but not our last…read more We went to the Nordic Center for our first time ever trying nordic skiing. We could not have been happier. The prices are very reasonable, the equipment is in excellent shape, and the staff are amazingly kind and helpful. If you get tired out Nordic skiing you can switch to Snowshoes as part of the same trail pass, and they have free snow tubing all day long.
