Rogue River 1/2 Day Testimonials

  • "Thanks very much for your note. It was a pleasure meeting you and we appreciated having you as our guides on the river last Sunday. You guys rock! Looking forward to future white water adventures together! "
  • "We thank you! The boys really enjoyed their trip and are eager to return, maybe next summer. I would like to commend you for all the little games, practice runs of what to do in case someone falls overboard, how to get back in the raft and how to float in case you don't get back in immediately. What an ingenious idea! Wish I would have been so wise when I took my friend out on our maiden rafting voyage on the Sandy, could have saved myself raft puncture repair costs. Oh well, I wouldn't have had the same memories. Again, I thank you for the great trip and will recommend you to anyone considering a rafting trip on the Rogue. You are a delight! "
  • "Hey there, or should I say, oh no.... thank you (hug, hug). As we sat at dinner last Wednesday we talked about you guys being back out on the river and wondered if you were at Battle Barge for the night or some other great camp spot. We too had a blast thanks to the tremendous trio who made the trip all that it was. It truly makes a parent thrilled to be off to the side and listen to their kids tell others how great of a time they just had being out in the "wilderness" and that they appreciated all there is to experience, and all without a cell phone, amazing!! I have heard them all relating to others what a great bunch of guides we we so fortunate to join in with, so I do not think anything was lost without the hot young guide, and what more could they want then Simon for young and hot and Casey obviously dug Jeff, my same age son-in-law, and what better gal pal could the girls have for a trip then Mara!! Thanks, once again, for the great adventure."
  • "Once again, Momentum's day trip on the Rogue was the highlight for our German exchange students. Their fun guides, excellent attention to detail, reliable transportation, great snacks and affordable pricing make them the gold standard for student trips. Many thanks to Pete and his crews for making such great memories for our students three years in a row. Danke!"
  • "We had a fantastic experience rafting down the rogue last week. Alan was our amazing and calm guide and Swirl and Lucy drove us to and from our location. We were well informed and educated about the river and the trip. Alan also kept us laughing and feeling very safe. The company made sure we were warm on quite a chilly morning. We are ready to do the Upper Klamath next time. Thank you so much for making our trip up to drop off our youngest to U of O much more memorable. "
  • "We had a GREAT trip down the Rogue with Robyn, Mara, and Mike - they were awesome! I wish all the boys and their girlfriends had been able to come along. We talked a lot about further trips, but not sure if we're not too picky - duckies a must, wetsuits yuck! and needs to be 5-6 days (4 days was too short!). Any ideas for next year? Maybe if we plan it enough in advance everyone can come. Has to be after the first week of June because our youngest is graduating from high school and probably won't want to miss it! Thanks again for an outrageous trip - food was great, people were great, service was great, rafting was great... Elizabeth (Peter, Tim and Kate) "
  • "we had a great time! We will for sure be going again and will ask for you! Take care"
  • "No Alan, thank you so much for taking us on the Rogue River we had so much fun. My mom says we're going on the upper Klamath or Klamath ( I can't tell what a difrence between them) the next time we come up here ( I promise that won't be a while). Katie :-) "
  • "Jason, we had a great time as well - thank you for a wonderful adventure!! Hope to see you on our next trip. "
  • "Alan, We had a wonderful time, too. How nice of you to follow-up. Mike hasn't stopped talking about it and Noelle keeps coming up with ideas on how to go with her future classmates. Personally, I was impressed with your professional "cool reserve" style - it made me feel safe and in good hands, yet adventurous enough to let go and enjoy the excitement. "
  • "Hi Momentum, It's Allie, and I'm really exited that you have my email!!!!! First of all I would like to say thank you, because that was the best rafting trip out of all four that I've been on! Next year I was wondering if we could have the same guides again. (If that's possible) I really enjoyed all the fun moments we all had together this year like the play that Hailey, Julia, and I put on for everyone, getting splashed by the jet boat, or the awesome campsite that Chad or Pete would set up for us everyday! Those moments and many more I will never forget. Please try to email me back, and tell Chad not to forget our secret handshake. Lots of Love, "
  • "Thanks to you too - we really had a great time and it was a great introduction to rafting for our kids! :)"
  • " Hello Pete, Robyn, Jason and Chad: Many thanks for your thoughtful email and kind words. I (and the rest of us) appreciate your taking the time to drop us a line. As well, thank you all, and your support crew back at the office, for a truly great trip this year down the Rogue. Your appreciation and care for the river are evident, as well as your love for what you do. Thanks for your terrific attention to detail and great job each day of creating a wonderful river experience with everyone. I enjoyed the opportunity to speak with each of you on the river or in camp -- thanks for taking the time to engage. You're a great team, and I wish each of you and Momentum the very best of continued success. Thank you as well for the photos on your face book page. There are many super shots!! We hope to see you again next year for another trip. "
  • "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 "
  • "We had a wonderful time. When I went back to work on Monday, I felt really refreshed. I have already recommended you to two friends! "
  • "I won the trip you donated to JPR's Spring Fund Drive and my wife and I did the trip last week. Neither of us had ever rafted before and it was great! The guides, Allen, Jason and Chad, did an excellent job, both on the river and in preparing meals. We enjoyed the lodges, too. Floating down the river in the wilderness was especially enjoyable - - just birds, otters, mink, deer and a bear. Thank you so much for donating the trip. We will be telling all our friends about our Momentum river experience. "
  • "The Rogue was my third trip with Momentum. All three trips were top-rate. Guides are personable, competent, elicit alot of confidence, great cooks and fun personalities. Food is tops; equipment is excellent and the small group sizes are perfect. "
  • "Hey Alan, Thanks for writing! I actually have been meaning to write you guys and tell YOU thanks. Not only did we have a great time, but the entire trip felt astoundingly professional and informative, something I kept thinking over and over as were were preparing side-by-side with the other local tour companies whom appeared to just get in the raft and go; you guys were really awesome for a really great price and I can easily say that you've got me thinking about my next river trip already. Thanks again for all of your expertise, I really learned a lot while also having the time of my life. It had been almost ten years since I last rafted but I'm hooked again and I look forward to seeing you guys again soon! "
  • "We had a great time on the trip. We are booked the week of Aug 28 . Please say hi to Jason, Allen and Chad from us. "
  • "We had a truly marvelous time with you three! You are totally professional, nice and fun. Thank you so much, "
