My 65 year old mother and I both had a blast on this adventure! The 2 mile paddle was tiring but not difficult and you can go at your own speed. The views are beautiful! Once we docked our boats, our guide Harrison noticed that the water levels of the river crossing were a lot higher than measured that morning. He walked us through the realities of crossing the river at the level it was at and was adamant about putting our safety first. Everyone in our group felt comfortable moving forward and Harrison agreed if we were comfortable, it was possible! Without his guidance, we would not have crossed! So glad we went through! It was an amazing hike, a real adventure, and the falls were breathtaking. Noone in our party swam under the falls because they were too strong that day, but it was a true sight to behold. Harrison was a great guide, very informative and friendly. 10/10 would highly recommend!!Sherri_B
