Guide Safety Course

Just last week we put our guide staff through an intense River Rescue Course.  We feel it’s very important for our guides to keep up on safety training and to be familiar with different rescue methods while out with clients.  The course we took was performed by Bill Dvorak of Dvorak Expeditions in Nathrop, Colorado.  They have been outfitting whitewater adventure trips in the Southwestern USA on 8 different rivers and over 28 canyons for the past 45 years.  Bill’s knowledge of river safety is second to none.  Our staff was exposed to many different scenarios that could come into play while out on a float or walk wade trip.  We feel this course was very beneficial to our team and hope that when we run into a slippery situation we’ll have the knowledge and experience to make good judgment calls with quick action to diffuse the situation.
