  The Dos Equis - "Most Interesting Man in the World" is a white water rafting guide at Royal Gorge Rafting.  His name is Jon.  Stay thirsty my friends.  He has crazy stories, dangerous jobs, numerous broken bones, and ridiculous jokes.  He knew how to read the rapids like an expert.  When your life hangs in the balance, you want your captain to be very knowledgeable and experienced.  You will be trained and briefed before you take a ride (fall?) on Sledgehammer, Sunshine Falls, Grateful Dead, Wall Slammer, and many other life changing rapids.
  
  My group and I had an awesome time during this trip even though it was freezing.  We did the "back to back" trip, which means you go through the tougher parts of the rapids twice.  I believe everyone has to go rafting at least once in their lifetime.  There are no words to describe this outdoor experience, but I will try.  The Colorado canyon views are gorgeous.  The rapids are fast, full of adventure.  This isn't just floating along a stream.  Your raft needs to work cohesively as a unit.  You will get a workout, there will be some paddling in unison.
  
  RGR provides you with water boots, wet suits, splash jackets, helmets, and life vests before you get on the river.  I would recommend buying an Underarmor or Nike dri-fit shirt to wear under the suit.  The water is very cold year round (it is from the melted mountain snow).  RGR drops you off and picks you up at certain points in the river.  They have been through this many seasons and know how to do things efficiently and party pleasing.  You are in good hands!
