A Family Must Adventure!

Our family rafted the Bighorn Sheep Canyon half-day trip with Journey Quest, and it was truly one of the highlights of our Colorado vacation! It was our first time whitewater rafting with our four kids (ages 6–15), and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Preston was an outstanding guide, patient, incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and so much fun. He immediately put everyone at ease, made us feel safe, and helped create memories our family will never forget. He was especially great with our kids, making sure everyone felt included and confident throughout the trip. If you’re looking for an adventure that’s perfect for families, we can’t recommend Journey Quest enough. We are already talking about coming back next summer, and we’re crossing our fingers that Preston will be our guide again! Thank you, Journey Quest, for giving our family an unforgettable day on the river!

Amazing experience with excellent staff!

10/10 for my family! Our 9yr old girl plus had a non-stop smile on her face. The guides (Wyatt and Phoenix) were interactive and friendly - from the safety briefing through our entire trip. They were kind, funny, and so encouraging giving us opportunities to try different things in the raft and in the river. We would highly recommend Journey Quest! We can't wait to come back. <3

This was a great time. All of the staff were kind and helpful. Kids had a blast. Extra pointer, I am overweight and was really nervous about doing this, but the staff made me feel comfortable. The trip was fun for all of us. So go enjoy yourself!

Wonderful Family Rafting Experience!

We had an amazing first family rafting experience with Journey Quest! We were so lucky to have Mark, the owner, as our guide and he was fantastic. He made us feel safe, taught us the basics of rafting, took us through some really fun rapids and educated us about our route. He was fun, funny and so relatable. We had a blast and will definitely go back!
