I've rafted with Alpine a few times now. I love rafting this river but I most importantly love rafting with Alpine. Alpine is alot of fun and fun is important! More importantly is the guides make you feel very safe on the river. From what I understand Alpine has some of the most experienced guides on the river. I'd reccomend... More

We booked the family white water rafting experience and had a great time. The guides are friendly and safety concious. The family ride covers the first part of the river, with some not terribly scary bits, but it is for children up to 14. A very generous outdoor burger lunch was laid on afterwards, and then we were taken back... More

My wife and I took our 5 children on the family whitewater trip. Our guide Jeff made the trip what it was. He was extrememly knowledgable in regards to the history of the area and the river. This made the float very interesting and educational. This was more than a whitewater rafting trip. It was an entertaining, intersting, and educational... More

This was my first time going, so I was pretty nervous and a little bit scared... Well, I'm definitely going back! It was an amazing time, the scenery and the river is beautiful, and the staff is completely amazing! They all did a great job, from the desk staff to all the guides.. I felt completely at ease and was... More

We came back to do the Middle and Lower Canyon, after doing only the Middle last year. The water levels were a bit lower - obviously - as you have to wait for the levels to drop before the lower canyon is open. Not as jaw droppingly huge as high water - but the lower canyon is beautiful. I would... More

Plan to go back next year again might try the catrafting next time. Lower canyon was colsed due to high water levels but did the middle section twice so the second run... More

We did the middle and lower canyon and had an incredible time. Our guide Camo (get him if you can!) did a great job at getting us down the river, getting us wet and sharing stories from his past that made us all envious of his lifestyle. Alpine Rafting seems less commercialized then the other companies out there and the... More

My family and I went rafting yesterday with the Family Whitewater trip. All I can say is that it was honestly and incredible experience! This option is perfect option for a family as the rapids were not too rough but still lots of fun even for the little ones. The equipment is very safe and also great for the ice... More
