"I have known Carrie for several years, and she has taught me the majority of what I know about rafting. From how to optimize my cockpit and frame to reading whitewater. She even gave up rowing her own raft to co-pilot my first Westwater trip and first-time rowing rapids."

"With her help, I was able to keep the rubber side down through Westwater and from what she taught me that day I have completed that section many more times on my own…although none were as clean as when I had Carrie directing me."

"I could not think of someone I would want more on my trip or trust more to help me organize a trip. She has decades of experience leading both commercial and private groups and has always been more than happy to share her knowledge to help less experienced boaters grow."
