Hello! I have been meaning to email you to thank you for your awesome whitewater kayaking instruction the other day! I thoroughly appreciated your professional assertiveness and persistence in getting me to roll as well as our fabulous run down the river. I was certainly very grateful for the productive day. Thank you again and hope all is well on your end! Perhaps we will cross paths discoing in the near future? Kind regards, Mia Shotwell

I would like to thank you for a fabulous trip rafting the Royal Gorge. Our family (party of 5) were in two boats (Bill at the helm and Kendall at the other helm). We were visiting the area for parents weekend at the USAF Academy and the trip on the river was definitely the highlight of our visit. We have told everyone what a wonderful experience we had and how they should book a trip with your company. Thank you again! Deb, Pete, Jake, Kurt & Erin DeRussy P.S. Is there anyway we can get copies of the pictures Kendall took during the trip?

Matt, Thanks for the fishing experience. My first fishing float trip was great. You were patient and informative. You were Awesome! Once my ankle gets better, I’ll look you up and we can chase each other up and down a hill on a mountain bike. Take care and let me know what’s happening in your life. Dave Preston

Hi Jaci, Art, Justin (PB&J will always be OK), Liam, Crazy Driver Dude, Young Dude, The Married Dude, and Jerry the Kickass Cowboy! I wanted to share some photos with you. Every time I look at them I wish I was back there. Thanks for making this trip so awesome! We couldn’t have picked a better adventure. And the guides rock…I could listen to them talk about the mountains and wilderness all night. (They probably got their fill of all the bs’ing from ‘the girls’.) We WILL return!!

Hello Dvorak Expeditions, I just wanted to let you know what a pleasant rafting trip experience we recently had on the Colorado River in Glenwood Canyon on Friday July 30. Our guide was “T” and Dave was our driver that day. My family and I enjoyed this excursion and I wanted to relate that to you. At the outset, we were accosted and our raft pushed to the side by another group of rafters from another company trying to hurry their launch into the river. I was impressed how professionally T acted toward the leaders of this group, who were not especially pleasant. Thanks T for showing my 2 young sons how to act calmly in the face of arrogant, inconsiderate people. My 11 year old son actually commented on this. After this episode, the rest of trip went smoothly….

I don’t know if this will end up with anyone, but if it does, my family (Rogers party of 4) went out with Russ as a guide. We had a ball. It was a truly awesome day. Fabulous weather, gorgeous river, fun company. Russ was great. As we left, my husband mentioned that he thought Russ thought we were mad because two of us – mainly my daughter and me – didn’t manage to stay in the boat. HECK NO. That was part of the fun. I’ve rafted several times and never gone out, so it was a SHOCK when I felt myself going over. Katie was a tad scared at the time, but once back in the boat she thought it was pretty darn funny. And it will give us stories for years… It wasn’t Russ’s fault, after all,…
