This was on my dad's bucket list so we did the lower half of the river this past May. Had a really great trip. If they offer to "ride rodeo" make sure and give it a try. You sit on the very front of the raft with you feet hanging over the front with nothing to hold onto but a short piece of rope. A lot like riding a bucking bronc but with a LOT more rebound from the raft. My brother-n-law gave it a try and it made of some really good pictures and memories.
