“(The Guides) were all great. Did you keep the best for this trip…or are they all so good at their jobs? By the time we reached the rapids everyone knew the guides were very skilled."

Westwater Canyon, 2 Day

"I just finished a trip through the Gates of Lodore with Ari, John and Faye as our guides, and I just want to tell you that they were fantastic. They were extremely competent, energetic, upbeat, and they were great cooks! They were able to educate us in so many different ways. The professionalism they exhibited was extraordinary. We had such a great time, and it was due in no small part to these 3 fantastic young people!”

Betsy Pink, Erie, CO

“We had the best time in Moab! It's a vacation that we'll be doing again and staying on the river longer!! We really enjoyed every day! The guides were wonderful and super knowledgeable about everything Moab had to offer! We all learned new things and tried new things and really had a fantastic time! Everyone with SGE is wonderful. We'll definitely be back!!”

Marisa Keene, Springfield, MO

"This is a fantastic trip! I have experienced this women-only trip twice now and it is terrific. The Sheri Griffith company is excellent, the guides were super and both times the trip brought together amazing women. Rafting, hiking, camping, great food... a fabulous trip start to finish!"

“I am grateful for this canyon retreat as it became much more than a river trip for me. I have been searching for a way to return to the land since I was 17 and left the Yampa Valley. Now, thanks to you, I have found a place to feed the primeval need to literally hold ancient dirt and mud and clay in the bowl of my hands, to see how the basic elements of earth, water, and fire come together during creation, to see stars after the moon goes down at night, and watch the canyon walls by day.”

Kaye Roll, River Writing & Sculpting guest

“Lynne and I agreed that the river trip was the greatest and most memorable experience either one of us had ever had in our lives! It will be in our hearts forever and we are so happy that you came into our lives, Thank you, Page!”

Sue, River Writing & Sculpting guest

"This is truly a wonderful adventure—physically, mentally, spiritually. Was so great that our focus was nature, poetry, writing. In spite of sand-in-the-hair, I didn't hear complaints! I will certainly recommend your trips to others. Our co-rafter/writer, my traveling partner, made a number of calls in the car as we drove home, praising the trip to the skies, telling everyone they needed to do it.”

"Page, thank you so much for making the rafting trip possible—and wonderful. I've imagined a river trip for years and this exceeded my expectations!”

“Just wanted to let you all know that we had a fantastic time on our raft trip. Everything ran flawlessly and we had a wonderful, memorable experience. You guys made the planning easy and put together a great itinerary. In all of my six trips with Sheri Griffith I’ve never had a bad experience – a real testament to the organization. Thanks again for everything.”

John Orr-Englewood, CO

"We were in Eric's boat and found him to be courteous and knowledgeable, always on the lookout for points of interest, and he got us through the rapids in a way that was fun and exciting but safe too. We really enjoyed our time with him; he's an asset to your company. The meals were outstanding, all the guides very polite and accommodating to all, knowledge of area history, geology and water use issues was very interesting, great job on keeping everyone safe."

David and Kathy Fine, El Cahone CA

“Guides were safety conscious the whole trip. This was a bucket list trip and it surpassed our expectations!”

Cataract 6 Day

"We just finished a trip with SGE on the Green River near Moab. We took the whole family from my 12 year old niece to my almost 80 year old father. Our guides were Stephanie, Chris and Taylor. The guides took great care of us and could not have been nicer. They had a terrific attitude and truly enjoyed their job and the out of doors. This was my first overnight rafting trip although I have done a lot of camping and whitewater canoeing. The equipment was great. The food was the best I have ever had on a camping trip……I could not recommend our guides and Sheri Griffith enough!…!”

Desolation 5 Day

“Fabulous cooks! Great patience! Great at encouraging interactions! Great storytellers! Great handy women. I felt safe, secure and confident we were with the BEST guides!”

Labyrinth 5 Day, 2021 (Womens) Spring

“They were amazing! So friendly and funny.Totally in touch with the river. Made me appreciate where I was even mor than I could. Loved the guides attitude/philosophy towards the river. We had a crazy hailstorm to start the trip and they sort of put it in perspective, we are the guests of the water and the land out here.”

Yampa 5 Day

“Our guides made the trip the success that it was. They worked amazing hard every second of the trip…yet had time to dote on us, make us laugh (and cry), feed us well, entertain us, educate us and keep us safe. They are truly the rockstars of the river!!!…You went above and beyond for our group and we want you to know that we recognize that! You threw in a ton of extras for us, more than we could have ever dreamed. Just know we appreciate all of the extra touches and efforts and expenses on your part—and deeply appreciate them!!”

Amy Steinhour, Cataract 4 Day, Women’s Lux

“All three of them were immediately a part of our family group. Everyone loved them; they were funny and made all of us feel special... The bonding of our family group which was facilitated by our guides.”

Lodore 4 Day

“They fed us like Kings and were genuinely fun people, whom we would love getting to know better. We hope to do this again. Couldn’t have been a better experience for our family. Great, great time! Thank you so much for putting together a memorable vacation!”

Cataract 4 Day

“Booked the 5-day Cataract and we had a great time! The food was terrific and the guides were always making sure that things were taken care of.”

“My family took a one-day trip in Westwater Canyon. It was the highlight of our week in Moab. Our guide, Owen, was terrific and provided lots of details about the geology, flora and fauna during the trip. The river included a nice mixture of leisure paddling and exciting white water. Plus the 2-hour van ride to the put-in is through some of the most beautiful scenery in the west. Thank you Owen, Kristl and Emma for a great trip!”

Don O.

“Our family of five had an amazing experience in Westwater canyon. Highly recommend this company for a day long rafting adventure.”
