Also, if you get cold easily, take the splash jacket...especially if you're in the front of the boat!)

The shop outfitted 15 of us easily with boots, waders, rods, reels, and bait. A hearty lunch of sandwiches, chips, pickles and cookies was provided. We were split into groups of 2-3, and then off to our fishing location for the day. Luke was an incredible guide! He gave helpful instructions, was great to chat with, and kept the day exciting and informative. My coworker and I both caught multiple rainbows, browns, and white fish throughout the day and had the absolute best experience! Such a beautiful property we were treated to. Can't imagine a better experience. If you're looking for a great guided flyfishing experience, I highly recommend Steamboat Flyfisher!

I had a blast white water rafting down the Colorado River with Mad Adventures. When you arrive to…read moretheir store location it's about 30 minutes of admin stuff before you load the buses to head for the launch point. You fill out the wavier paperwork, get a speech from one of the workers, and go through the line to your life jacket and paddle. They also have shoes for rent if you need them. The bus ride to the launch point is about 30 minutes. The staff do their best to keep everyone entertained while your on the bus; telling jokes, telling you facts about landmarks, and the local area. When you get to the launch point it's about another 15 minutes before you get on your raft. They go through another 5-7 minute speech about the water, how to maneuver, and all the safety stuff (just in case crap goes wrong). Then they split you up into groups and you load the raft. We truly had a blast on the raft and I never felt like I was at risk of injury, or unsafe through the entire ride. From start to finish it was about a 2 hour trip; but it went by really fast. I could have rode the river for at least another 1-2 hours. It was super chill and some of the rough waters (class II and III) didn't last long but made the ride very exciting. We did stop for about 30 minutes at a point where you can jump off a cliff. There is a 25 foot cliff as well as a small jump spot for kids (my 4 year old jumped from the small spot). I did go up to the 25 foot jump (along with about 30 other people). Jumping was not a problem at all because you walk up to the edge and simply walk off for the jump. They don't give you anytime to look around, think, or get scared. 30 people jumped off in less than 7-8 minutes. It felt great!! The ride back to the main store was much shorter; about 15 minutes. Overall we had a great time and it was well worth it.

Be prepared to be paired up with other families who may talk your ear off and miss commands from the guide. That got a little frustrating since we were literally there to raft only. The scenery is gorgeous and they are accommodating. be prepared to pay extra for anything, of course, as per usual. they also ask for tips which is understandable, so be prepared for that. the bus ride out to the river is long and uncomfortable when sitting next to people you don't know. extroverts' dream come true, but again, if you don't like having your ear talked off, you may want to avoid.

A hot air balloon ride is already pretty cool. Add amazingly friendly staff who can easily put anyone at ease or add excitement and hype to peeps who are ready to fly and you can see how epic this was (or can be for you). Add the little touches like fresh donut holes, orange juice and a great coffee bar to start your morning. Clear instructions and a well oiled team to help you and your party into and out of the balloon is just how they roll. Add gorgeous weather, a quiet morning, a brilliant sunrise and amazing views - you're off and running into an epic day. They also end well: champagne on its own or maybe a mimosa to celebrate a lovely morning. Photos? Yes, in addition to yours, you'll get a link to a slew of professionally shot images. You certainly don't need a milestone to celebrate, though. This is your one wild life. Go because it's a Tuesday.

Bill was our guide and he was friendly, personable, and reassuring throughout the entire trip. They had these inflatable kayaks that they called duckies that can fit 1-2 people, and you paddle along after the raft. We switched off between all of us and our two kids ages 8 and 12 even had a go of things in the duckie, and I felt they were safe even though they were definitely not the best paddlers, given Bill's watchful eye and directions on paddling! Bill also pointed out wildlife, good spots to jump in the river and swim, and places were could float in our life vests in the current downstream. Had such a great time, even though the rapids had downgraded to only class 1-2 by the time we went in late July. The rapids still provided plenty of excitement for us all, especially in those duckies! Definitely go with this group--they were great!
