Thinking of gifting a whitewater rafting trip for my friend’s birthday!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting a whitewater rafting adventure near Denver for my friend’s birthday. It's just about 30 minutes from the city, and I heard it's got the most continuous rapids in Colorado. The guide apparently shares cool stories too! Do you think this is a good gift? Anyone done it recently?

Just did the whitewater rafting experience near Denver!

I just got back from the whitewater rafting near Idaho Springs, and wow, what a thrill! The rapids were nonstop, and our guide had some great stories about the history of the area. It was about 3 hours of pure excitement! Pro tip: Bring an extra pair of shoes for after. Anyone else done this? Would love to swap stories!
