"Four Corners Rafting took my family down the Arkansas River. They have been around since 1976. We got to take in the excitement and beauty of Colorado's most rafted river. It was a great introduction to whitewater rafting because we'd never gone before. We also went float fishing for trout (yuck) and did an overnight wilderness camping trip, which was the most fun.

I felt safe with our guide Bill, 'cause he really took good care of us. Bill really knew a lot about river running, geology and local history. That was really cool.... He was really funny, too.

I've never had so much fun in my life! I will remember this trip for a very long time and would recommend it to my friends. "
