Family Is What Makes It Happen!
At Browns Canyon Rafting we are a family! We strive to provide our guest with an individually unique, personable and memorable experience. This is achieved first and foremost by the INDIVIDUALS who you meet on any adventure. Below you can meet those very individuals that will be creating unforgettable memories on your next adventure in Colorado’s Majestic Rocky Mountains!
Byron
Byron’s first rafting trip ever was on an overnight trip through Browns Canyon with his family when he was 7 years old. Since then a lot has happened and he finds himself back where he began. Byron has guided across the US and in Costa Rica.
Tom
In the summer, Tom is the best kayaker on the river. During the winter, this Keystone Mountain patroller is the best snowboarder on the mountain!

Jeremy – “Jerm The Don”
Jerm, originally from Florida has found his home in Colorado. Always excited about life he is a joy to be around. He will educate, entertain and enthusiate (new word, to excite another). When he is not on the river with us in the summer you can find him on Keystone Mountain, keeping it safe in the winter.
