Rogue River 1/2 Day Testimonials

  • "There were 5 of us, a family reunion of sorts, and we continue to talk about this trip a week later. Our group ranged from a first timer, to very experienced, and it was a good fit for all. We took a 1/2 day trip down the Rogue River, and it was worth every penny spent, and every second of time spent. From the making of reservations with Robyn, to Jason's great guide down the river, to the goodies provided at the end, everything was first class. I have been on many raft trips, on many rivers, and Jason was one of the best I've ever encountered. Not only was he an expert about the river, but he was also great at reading the personalities of each individual, and ensuring that everyone was included in conversation, and that everyone enjoyed the trip. Thanks again to all of you. Pat Cahill"
  • "We loved the trip. You and Katy were awesome. When I get back to my laptop will be giving you and the company highest marks!"
  • "Hi Alan, We really enjoyed you as our guide too. And now that we're freshly arrived home (to 95 degree humidity), we're missing OR a lot! We had a fabulous time and hope to return some day. "
  • "Thank YOU both -- and Pete -- for a fantastic trip. I'm sending a family your way in August... they have a younger daughter, so may need to opt for the Klamath trip, but keep an eye out for the Baldwin family for us :) "
  • "Hello Pete, Thank you to the whole of Momentum for organizing a splendid river adventure. My son, husband and I returned Sunday from the Rogue Wilderness Lodge trip and it was the highlight of our summer. My son is turning 15 this fall and is athletic and adventurous by nature but had no idea how much fun and challenge he was going to have. He smiled the entire trip, as did Phillip and I. The beauty of the Rogue and the Siskiyou Mountains was a feast for the senses. We saw animal life that we'd hoped to see (bear, mink, fox, otters, orange crayfish, water turtles, bald eagles, osprey) that we just don't have in Palo Alto, California. The white water was terrific for beginners (quickly turned intermedieates) and provided extended excitement and challenge for Phillip and Chris particularly when they learned to surf. Once they slipped into the inflatables (first day) they never returned to the raft. The lodges were the perfect choice for us, and we loved both of them for different reasons. If a person can't love Paradise, then life really is hopeless. The lodge was beautiful and spacious itself but it wasn't just the comfortable accommodations that made it special - the entire property cradled us in it's serene and natural beauty and provided a dreamy ending to a dreamy day. Let me gush about your guides for a moment. Alan led the trip and Mike guided our supply boat. They are two of the most wonderful mentors we could have hoped to lead us on the river. Alan's knowledge is deep and wide; his demeanor matched the serenity of the surroundings which caused us to pay attention to both the wilderness history and the rules he imparted while on his boat. He was not just a guide, he was a wonderful teacher and successfully shared his palpable love of this stretch of the Rogue. I'd even go so far as to say he possessed a little magic about him: twice he got us on hikes up tributaries that ended in these river pools the likes of which you see in National Geographic, and he did so just before other bigger groups arrived. We came upon these pools as if we were the only humans in the region which added a special "just for you" quality to the hikes. Mike could not have been more delightful. He too was profoundly knowledgeable. His ease, grace, humor, and willingness to share his love of rafting captured our imaginations for hours. Chris decided he looked like the movie character, Wolverine, and he was given this moniker for our trip. Your care and attention to our meals was evident and greatly appreciated. Your thoughtful approach to reducing our impact on the wilderness is deeply appreciated and respected. It's better than nice knowing we may have had little negative impact on the river. Your drivers at the take out were courteous and again, engaging. Oh yes, I realize you cannot predict what groups will get along when paired together for three days - sometimes it works and sometimes not. Well, we loved the Seymour family and all eight of us got on beautifully which of course added to the expansive joy experienced by all. From my initial contact with your company throughout our time with you, my/our experience was superlative. We have been and will continue telling everyone we come into contact with what a special encounter we had and to investigate Momentum. Thank you so very much. fondly, rpm "
  • "Thank you for your kind email sent after our afternoon on the Rogue with you. Henya and I had an absolutely wonderful trip with you as our guide. Your skills as river rafter, congenial host, and fun companion are superb! I will most certainly recommend you, and Momentum, to friends. Thanks! "
  • "Hi Alex, Adam and Rachel: Thank you! What a fantastic trip. You guys were great. Thanks for all trips and also for the tips on the hiking trail. It seems like the philosophy was to go out of the way to make sure that everyone got to do something special that they liked. You all sure work hard. I can't tell you what a treat it is not to have to cook and clean. I think that's almost my favorite part. So hope you all have a good year. Tell Alex good luck with school and I'm sure all the 6th graders are eagerly awaiting his return. Good luck to Adam and Rachel with traveling and exploring the world. Thanks again to all. It was a memorable experience. "
  • "Beautiful scenery, knowlegable guide, good food and hot showers at the end of each day. Thanks Anthony for a wonderful 3 days."
  • "Hi Alex, Thank you for giving us a fantastic experience!! Our family had a blast and we're ready to book our next rafting trip for August. Jacob is still talking about his "surfing" time. You are absolutley correct, it was a gorgeous day. The kids at the school will definitley have a great time. Have a great day~ Lisa "
  • "Robyn, We had a great trip. It was good family time. I must say I have never had such luxurious camping before in my life. You guys did a great job and the food was fabulous. Thanks so much for everything. Love the pictures! Brenda "
  • "Pete, Thanks very much for the such an enjoyable and well-organized trip, as well as for sending us info on the other trips you offer. I'll check it out. I wish you the best. Dan "
  • "Adam, Thanks for the note Adam. We very much enjoyed the trip and your company as well. Great instruction, felt safe, had a great time. We definitely talked about signing up for another trip in the future, maybe one of the longer trips Momentum offers. Hope to run into you again sometime! Cheers, Justin "
  • "Joe and I had a terrific time on the Rogue trip. Thanks again to both you and Anthony. Now you have my e-mail address. By the way check out www.elkcove.com Hopefully the shop who puts your tastings together will have our wine. Thanks, Pat"
  • "Pete, I am sure your are in the office either today or Monday before your next trip so I just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks and feedback from my Momentum IK trip. I can best describe it as great, greater, greatest. All you promised and more. Concern for client safety, welfare and satisfaction is beyond words but can go with the three mentioned. Food and lodging were far more than expected. A unique rafting trip to say the least. Would not hesitate to recommend Momentum Rafting to anyone, without reservation. Hope to do another, would probably have to be the same trip, I am spoiled. Wish my best the Anthony and the support and encouragement he provided throughout the trip. Thanks to you Pete for bearing with me through all the questions before the trip. Lodging at both the Flagship and Marriot are highly recommended. Marriot is a great geteaway at the end of the trip. Hope to be back in Oregon sooner than you think. Thanks again. George "
  • "Given the fact that I originally signed up for the Illinois and had to be diverted at the last minute to the Rogue due to water conditions, it was probably a blessing in disguise. The Rogue River trip was awesome! So beautiful at every turn. Even the weather Gods were with us. I now have a new appreciation for rapids ratings (Class I, II, III,etc) and might think twice about booking an extreme adventure. LOL! The expertise of our guides made the journey safe, relaxing, exciting when it should be, and the food was out of this world! This was my first guided float trip and I'll have to say that guides Anthony and Adam are NUMBER ONE!! They worked so hard, were pleasant, entertaining, accommodating, SKILLED, friendly; they truly made my trip a memorable experience. Hey, guys! How about that 9-nine Owyhee trip next spring! Looking forward to it. "
  • "Thanks for being a spectacular guide on my first rafting experience! Even though I was apprehensive at first I had an amazing time, and I'm ready for something a little more intense. Hope the start of the school year is going well for you. Take care! "
  • "Thank you Adam. I have to admit I was really fearful at first, but my fears subsided once we were in the boat. You were a great guide, and we really had a enjoyable time. We will definitely do it again next time we are in Ashland. Thanks"
  • "I just got home this evening. The rafting was the was the most outstanding part of our trip, and something Logan will no doubt keep with him forever. It couldn't have turned out better:). I will certainly keep Momentum in mind for future adventures. Your time and enthusiasm for the river was greatly appreciated and according to Logan, you "rock." Until next time... "
  • "I took my 9 year old son for his 1st trip on the Rogue with Erik Jorgensen and we had an awesome time! I'd taken a 5 day Rogue River thriller trip years ago and was so delighted to have my son eager for his next trip thanks to Erik's skill and enthusiasm. Thanks Erik!!"
  • "I want to thank you for your guidance on the river, your patience and respect towards my children, and making our first time rafting the pleasurable time that it was. Marc "
