We had an incredible full-day trip with Ashley and Sunny on the Numbers! The rapids offered the perfect mix of excitement and challenge, all set against a backdrop of stunning canyon walls and breathtaking mountain views. Ashley and Sunny were not only fun and engaging but also highly skilled and knowledgeable, making us feel safe while keeping the energy high. An unforgettable experience, can’t recommend it enough!

We had a great time rafting the numbers. Gatlin was our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and accommodating. We have rafted with several different companies in the past and Wilderness Aware tops them all. We will definitely raft again with WA.

This was the second white water rafting experience for our family and it surpassed all our expectations. Our guide for the numbers was Gatlin; he is extremely knowledgeable and encouraged us to follow his directions for a great experience. Bonus we surprised to see a bear!

We had such a great time on our half day rafting adventure with Gatlin as our guide. Although we went during the end of the season when the water was running lower, the company made sure we had the right raft to ensure we still had a ton of fun! We would recommend this company.

We had an great time rafting the numbers/narrows with our guide Gatlin! First time on class IV and it was awesome and a good workout. Looking forward to doing this river next time with Gatlin at higher flows. He also made a good lunch spread. Props to the photographer, we got some great pics!
