This was an amazing adventure with an amazing guide. Request Jacob as your guide. Knowledgeable, compassionate, experienced, and entertaining. With Jacob and the eclectic business, Lost Paddle, we got the full experience of white water adventure.

We had so much fun! It ended up being a half day trip, but it was awesome! The grandkids had a blast! Our guide, Tyler, was stupendous! He gave the kids an experience they will never forget!

Kevin_F

The whole experience from gathering at the office till drop off was awesome. The lunch exceeded our expectations for sure. The rapids worth it! The both guides Chris and Ella were experienced and very knowledgeable and super fun. And safety was excellent!! If I do it again I would do it with them!

Dclark5601

Totally enjoyed it. Our guide Tyler was telling about the history of the area, rock info, plant uses. We totally enjoyed the rapids. The lunch they provided was good.

Benjamen M

The whole team at Lost Paddle were friendly and incredibly helpful! Our guide Tyler was great and made the whole trip fun. The food was amazing on the full day tour.

We are very happy with our decision to go with Lost Paddle for our rafting trip. Staff were fun and professional, and the lunch provided exceeded our expectations. The only sort-of negative is that the first half of the day was a little too low-key (lots of flat water) for my family, but my kids were too young to do the Royal Gorge. Still, lots of good times, and good memories. If we happen to vacation here again in a few years, we will certainly look up Lost Paddle for their Royal Gorge tour.

Mia was a great guide! My daughter was the first one in river for 2022 season! Smooth rescue!! Great trip!!
