A Few Highlights
"As someone who has rafted on commercial trips all over the western U.S. for over 15 years now, I can say without hesitation that your company is the FINEST outfit I have rafted with..."
"I just wanted to thank you again for the great Illinois trip a few weeks ago, it was definitely one of the best multi-day trips I have ever been on and, as usual, the attention to detail that you and your guides adhere to is astounding and very much appreciated."
"I know it’s rare, but Momentum is a company that delivers everything they promise. I have been rafting with many outfitters but they set the standard. Great guides, great food, great gear, great times. We had an amazing trip..."
"I’ve traveled with Pete on 4 river trips, 3 of them covering multiple days. In every case, his professionalism shines and in each case, my experiences have been nothing less than brilliant..."
"What really stood out above all was your commitment to safety. The river was BIG and all the measures you had in place to make us feel safe made the trip that much more fun..."
"I certainly count the time we spent with you as a highlight of the summer. i've had more fun, i'm sure, but I certainly don't remember when."
"you and the staff of Momentum have created a kind, respectful, professional, nurturing atmosphere that allows the clients to truly feel that they are a part of the trip, rather than simply the "cattle" that are herded down the river. A few select few companies are working towards this same goal, but not at nearly the same level."
"..we had a blast. What a great white water trip! You and your crew were awesome. It was the best food of any river trip I have been on... All the special touches did not go unnoticed..."
"...it was undoubtedly the high point of our vacation. We loved the rafting itself, the terrific food, the pleasant company and the sense of being in good hands: totally great: more than made true your advertisement at the bottom of that e-mail."
"The food was unbelievable, better than some "fine" restaurants that I have ate at. Camping will never be the same after this trip." |
|
"What a premier company you have got going! I have been rafting with groups for over 20 years and you guys are DELUXE! The little things go along way in demonstrating the class act you provide."
We depend on and thrive off your feedback and we will continue to share your comments as they come in through out the seasons. From all of us at Momentum:
"Thank YOU!"
Unrivaled As A Commercial Rafting Company 'Pete Walstrom, the owner of Momentum River Expeditions, puts his years of experience and expertise into the management of what just might be the best commercial rafting company in North America. The trips are spectacular beyond description, the guides are the best of the best, the food is incomparable, and the customers are treated like royalty.
I especially would like to recommend the Cal Salmon trip and the Illinois River trip. The Illinois is one of the most incredible canyons I have ever seen, let alone rafted on. The combination of lush flora, thundering rapids, and isolation make it nearly indescribable.'
Best Rafting Guides and Outfitter EVER 'I think I have been on a half dozen trips with Momentum (and dozens with other river outfitters so I know what I am talking about in this one limited area). Momentum rocks! Absolutely the best in every category. The guides are unbelievable in their knowledge of the suroundings and in their ability to make everyone feel welcome and challenged. The food is first class. Every trip is pure fun from dawn till late night. Website does a spectacular job of helping to select the best trips -- with buddies, with kids or with the grandparents. Excellent value. '
Amazing Trip 'I know it’s rare, but Momentum is a company that delivers everything they promise. Great guides, great food, great gear, great times. Support this company!
'
Rogue River Trip 'We had a wonderful Rogue trip in August with Anthony while visiting Oregon Shakespeaer Festival. Excellent logistics with Medford pick-up right at our hotel. I recommend Momentum staff, Anthony, and this trip as a perfect add-on to any summer visit to the Ashalnd festival. The Petersens '
WE will definitely be BACK with ALL of our FRIENDS! 'Allan, your style of guiding and gentle ways of communicating, your vast knowledge of the area, and your inner love for what you do kept us in the present moment, and it was quite lovely! THANK YOU! Eric, what a well versed conversationalist and one with a gift to put people at ease in the first minute. THANKYOU! AND THEN there was the best driver every, MR Derrick,. No one felt seasick at this even keel pace, his love of life shines through and his plethora of the best burger in Ashalnd always helps on the drive form the take out . Each one of your staff are down to earth, talented, gifted, show that they care for our waters, our land, our planet and all the life above us, below us and around us. You should be very proud of these three team members, as they have sold me on my next years trips with momentum! expeditions !
Thank you for awakening the worry of what if's to the present moment.
With gratitude and big heart smiles!

Magical Experience 'Gentlemen,
Thank you all for a magical experience!
I look forward to receiving photos from my fellow rafters so I can share pictures with my clients. I am waxing eloquent regarding the Momentum Experience and trust you will soon be flooded by eager, future paddlers. I still have afew brochures and cards left but will need more by next week....I could pick them up from the Swirley Girl.
I truly had a fabulous time.
sincerely,
Lezlie Green
'
highlight of our two week vacation 'Anthony,
Thanks for your note and the amazing experience. Our day on the river was the highlight of our two week vacation! We'll most definitely recommend your company to friends and family and will likely schedule another trip for ourselves in the future.
'
whiteriver rafting trip 'Very good instructor, gave us lots of historical background of the areas and was very knowledgeable. The rafting was great, refreshing, and the best part was at the end of the trip...its a suprise'
2-day Rafting/Camping Trip 'We just returned from a 2-day rafting/camping trip with Momentum. Two fathers, two twelve-yr-old boys. We were a bit nervous about having our athletic but small boys do Class 4 rapids, but Anthony, Heather, and Derek did an absolutely awesome job. Everyone had a great time and no one went swimming at an inappropriate time. We highly recommend this outfit and Anthony as a guide. '
I am hooked! 'Hi Allan,
This is Heather and I just wanted to say thank you again for such an awesome trip down the river! This was my first time and I am now hooked, totally the best way to travel! :)
Thanks again!
Heather
'
Awesome Time! 'Hi,
We had an awesome time and were impressed with ever thing about our trip down the Rogue. The guides were all extremely knowledgeable, safety-minded, interesting and caring. I cannot think of one reason to look for a different outfitter if we do another trip!
Gwen
'
Great Job! 'Hi Erik,
Owen and I had a blast on the river - Owen can't stop talking about it - we are at his sister and brother-in-law's right now and every other conversation brings us back to the rafting experiences. Thanks you so much for being such a terrific guide - we are already talking about coming back next year to do the river again and perhaps taking in a show. Great job!!!
Yvonne and Owen
'
trip down the Klamath 'First time river rafting at age 58 and we did class 4 rapids. We had early teen kids up to age 65 on our trip. With Eric's professionalism and experience and commands regularly blasting in my ear, we did great and I had an absolute blast. Would recommend this guide, company and trip without qualification to anyone.'
A Great Time! 'Anthony,
We had a great time! You are a fantastic guide. I really appreciate the your emphasis on fun without sacrificing safety. Your expertise made the day.
Thomas and I will figure out a way to get back down there for the Kalamath trip, probably next year. We'll definitely go with Momentum and ask for you.
Thanks,
Frank
'
Unbelievable, WAAAY exceeded expectations! 'Dear Pete, You can refer ANYONE to me ANYTIME and I will be happy to "represent" how absolutely incredible the trip down the Upper K is. Besides the remote and spectacular location and fantastic whitewater, to have the good fortune to enjoy you and Derek on my Birthday trip was beyond compare! We've come to appreciate your usual attention to EVERY TINY detail but for this trip, you were over the top! Among "BEST Birthdays" EVER, you shared so generously of your time, talent while keeping us IN the boat, never even needing to call a left or right turn you are so skilled! But the safety overall and the obvious caring you take to assure each guest has that "once in a lifetime to remember" experience is what sets Momentum over the top. Our sincere and muchly felt gratitude to you and Derek and that we will be back next year for our next whitewater adventure. You are a treasure Pete, your business and associates reek of what's important to you, how lucky for us! Lisa and the "WWSS girls"'
Rogue Wine Tasting Thank You 'Pete - wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the trip and the terrific side expeditions. It was all great. Especially wanted to thank you all for the wine tasting - it was really fun and the wine and cheese were delicious - April's did a really nice job - and so
did Adam as our wine guide. It was a special treat. We all got a
lot of fun and pleasure out of it.
'
Upper Klamath Rafting 'Just like this email, you find a way to make the extra effort..not just to sell the next trip either. You beat me to the email where I wanted to tell you personally "thank you" for being so generous and giving of your time and talent..know you have choices but you made the trip so special, so memorable..one of the best birthdays EVER, never to be forgotten and there you were, right smack dab in the middle of it. Today with Alan and Anthony, just as great (but for too short a time)..gals loved it, understand why we rave so about you guys and just generally how really special a person you are. Hope the rest of the season is a blast in a safe way, without incident other than the satisfaction people feel from having spent time with Momentum's super great folks..you lead the way Pete..in ways that are small but completely noticed! '
Rogue 'Thank you for your kind email sent after our afternoon on the Rogue with you.
Henya and I had an absolutely wonderful trip with you as our guide. Your skills as river rafter, congenial host, and fun companion are superb!
I will most certainly recommend you, and Momentum, to friends.
Thanks!

Upper Klamath Rafting 'Just wanted to say I had an incredible time..... I have told everyone we had the best guide (not to discount the other guys).... and the purple boat was tops..... Thanks for your great guide work to get us into every ripple possible and your stories were welcome.... thanks for the stress relief and we are already talking about a return and filling the boat with other crazy friends and of course we will schedule when Jason is available..... thanks again and keep smiling'
Rogue Rafting - 4-day camp 'Hi Alex, Adam and Rachel:
Thank you! What a fantastic trip. You guys were great. Thanks for all trips and also for the tips on the hiking trail. It seems like the philosophy was to go out of the way to make sure that everyone got to do something special that they liked. You all sure work hard. I can't tell you what a treat it is not to have to cook and clean. I think that's almost my favorite part.
So hope you all have a good year. Tell Alex good luck with school and I'm sure all the 6th graders are eagerly awaiting his return. Good luck to Adam and Rachel with traveling and exploring the world.
Thanks again to all. It was a memorable experience.
'
A Wonderful two day trip! 'Hello Pete,
Hope this finds you well and busy with clients on the rivers.
We had a wonderful two-day trip on the Upper Klamath; you have a tremendous staff in Alex, Rachel, and Derrick! They were wonderful; what a great team! Alex guided our raft and we appreciated his sharing the local history of the region. The girls, two 16 year olds, enjoyed the Captain Jack story and were even recalling points of the Sat evening discussion revolving around the rivers, dams, fishing industry, Indian rights etc. We all decided that we would have liked for Alex to be our 6th grade teacher. We appreciate his teaching passion; don't stop. Alex will be talked about in future camps as "an influential teacher" (this is a good thing).
We also enjoyed Rachel's company, her world-wide travel experiences are tremendous and she's great fun.
What can we say about Derrick, the back-bone of the trip. We were never hungry, my goodness the snacks and meals were fantastic. Also, a very interesting and charming person. And a wonderful van driver!
We greatly appreciated the maturity of your staff; they were professional, they were fun, they were engaging and interesting. We had a fantastic two days on the river.
We have and will continue to recommend your company and staff to family and friends considering an "adrenaline" filled vacation.
Thank you so much.
Hope to booking another trip with you in the near future (we need to bring our other daughter who was unable to attend due to college summer school).
Sincerely,
Amy Drake

Rogue Lodge to Lodge Trip 'Beautiful scenery, knowlegable guide, good food and hot showers at the end of each day. Thanks Anthony for a wonderful 3 days.'
Absolutely Fantastic! 'Thanks to YOU, Jonny, and the momentum crew, we had a great time!
I did email a thank you to Pete and Robyn yesterday and let them know what a great job you, Anthony and Adam did and how much we enjoyed our trip. I hope he relays the message to you guys.
Thanks again for an absolutely fantastic rafting trip. We will have fond memories of our day rafting for a long time.
Take care,

Fantastic Experience!! 'Hi Alex,

Top Notch! 'Hi Robyn,
Just wanted to let you know we had an absolutely FANTASTIC time yesterday, Sunday, July 12th on our raft trip on the upper Klamath river with Anthony, Johnny and Adam. The entire team was top notch. Johnny happened to be our river guide and he was fantastic! Our entire experience with your company from booking the trip with you to the delicious food to the equipment could not have been better. (Even the weather cooperated!) We will definitely recommend your company and the trip to others. Please forward this note to the owner, Pete, as we want him to know what great people he has working for him.
Thanks so much,
Jaylin Hefty

Very nice time! 'Erik,
Thanks for the note. We too had a very nice time, thanks to our wonderful guide, great weather, and an amazing river.

Upper Klamath in July 'Great trip and company, I'd highly recommend Momentum! From reservation to take out, it could not have gone better. Our guide, Erik, was extremely knowledgeable and competent on the river. I took my 13 year old daughter and she loved the trip. In addition, Momentum does a great job with the food as well! '
MRE is first on My List! 'I should be thanking you. I had a great time on the river, it’s always good to get out on a river and soak up a few rays. I should also be thanking you for putting up with all of my generic and I’m sure rather annoying questions, I learned a great deal. I can truly say that you (Jon E, Big D, and Adam) and MRE are best in class when it comes experience, personality, and true passion for what you all do. MRE is first on my list...without fail.
Thanks again for an awesome time.
Cheers,

A truly great business 'Hi Pete,
I know we haven’t meet, but I wanted to take a moment to complement you on your company and crew. I took a quick trip down the Upper Klamath last Friday, July 3rd. I checked out your website which was definitely one of the best outfitter sites I’ve ever seen. I haven’t been out on the water as much as I’d like and jumped at the chance to do so. Needless to say I was not disappointed. Eric was my guide for the day and as I’m sure you know his service is second to none. While I can’t speak for the rest of the people that day, I can say that he made the experience that much more enjoyable. His knowledge of the area and his craft was nothing short of amazing. While I was with Eric most of the day, Adam, Jon E, and Derek where also equally as awesome; I had the opportunity to pick all of their brains at one point or another during the day. I grew up on the rivers of Montana and used the opportunity with your world class crew to sharpen my knowledge on the rivers of Oregon. Don’t worry…I wont be starting an outfitting business anytime soon, I know I wouldn’t be able to compete with the business you’ve started and fostered into a truly great business that has a solid future no matter the economic outlook. Thank you again for providing such a great service.
Here at Nike one of the principles we live by is “There is No Finish Line”. I employ you to adopt the same mentality. You have a truly great business and will only benefit to continue building upon it.
Cheers,
ACS

Job Very Well Done 'Pete,
Just want to throw my kudos to Adam and Rachel for a Job Very Well Done on Saturday. They were both as professional and friendly as they come, highly knowledgeable wrt all things rafting, and two heckuva cooks.
I'm afraid I did not catch the name of the other guide but he was just as great.
We'll see you again for certain!
Dan and Claudia Foley

Amazing Trip 'Thanks very much Alex. We had a really great time with you. It was a lot of fun and you were excellent guides. We all felt safe and relaxed and well cared for. Peter and I agreed it was the best organised river trip we have ever been on and Peter especially has been on a lot. Please do pass our thanks on to Pete and Johnny too. Yes, we would love to come down the Rogue with you next summer. We will be in touch closer to the time!'
More fun than scary! 'Hi Rachael:
We had such a good time rafting with you. Even Laura had to admit that it was more fun than scary. Perhaps we can get her on another river next year.
'
Best Time Ever! 'Hi Alan,
We had the best time ever! Thank YOU for making our passage safe and
thoroughly enjoyable by all of us. We have been talking up Momentum
and the Upper Klamath to everyone we know since last Sunday's epic day.
Cheers!

We Had a Blast! 'Can't wait to come back again. Adam, you were super great. Loved your laid back attitude yet I always felt like you had such a handle on the boat and all of us. Really cool!! Have fun this summer. '
Virgin Rafter Regrets Waiting So Long 'I never went whitewater rafting before and now, thanks to you guys, I am hooked and can hardly wait to go again. Trouble is, I wouldn't want to go without you! ...But What an Awakening! I'd forgotten how much I love the water and, specifically, how much fun I have when rocketing through it! Could hardly stop grinning. To top it off, I was surrounded by an environment for which I got a history lesson and a deeper sense of awe and appreciation. Loved my time with you, especially Adam, whose raft I felt lucky to be on. (This guy's a pro...wonderful!) I highly recommend having a day exactly like mine was when we were there with you.'
Great Experience! 'Hey Alan!
Thanks for the great experience and thanks for being such a solid guide. I live down here in Sacramento and plan on trying out a trip on the American River soon. It probably won't be as nice as the Upper Klamath, so I'll just have to make do. We will see you next year if all goes as planned. Have a great Summer.
'
Upper Klamath trip 'Thank You Eric,
We have been talking about what a great guide you are. It was really nice to be out with a mature guide who doesn't do crazy things. Instead you gave good clear direction and lots of information about the river and its histroy.
Thank you. We have been telling all our friends and neighbors about our white water experience and have told them when they go with Momentum they should ask for you.
Sincerely,
Susan

Upper Klamath trip 'Rachael
Thanks so much for the note back.

Upper Klamath trip 'Hi Alan,
We had a great time as well---we're still talking about it!! We are thinking about a guided lodge trip on the lower Rogue sometime in August, and we will definitely call Momentum. We would love it if we were lucky enough to get you as our guide again!! You really made our trip on the Klamath very comforting; we were all very impressed with your river knowledge and rowing skills. Have a great summer, and have fun on your river trips! :) Brenda
'
Cal Salmon trip 'Erik- Thank you for such a great time. We really enjoyed our time with your crew on and off the river.

thanks for your e-mail.
We are back in Germany since yesterday.

Lower Owyhee 'Pete:
Just had to let you know that Rachel Ward is probably the best raft guide that I have ever rafted with. (and I’ve done some major rivers) We were all fairly terrified of the Middle Owyhee, especially in the beginning, and she kept us safe, well fed, and happy. Jason and Adam were great too.
Thanks for employing such a world class veteran. Please give her a bonus.

Rogue River 'Adam,
Thanks for the note Adam. We very much enjoyed the trip and your company as well. Great instruction, felt safe, had a great time. We definitely talked about signing up for another trip in the future, maybe one of the longer trips Momentum offers. Hope to run into you again sometime!

Rogue River Rafting 'Pete,
I am sure your are in the office either today or Monday before your next trip so I just wanted to drop a quick note of thanks and feedback from my Momentum IK trip.
I can best describe it as great, greater, greatest. All you promised and more. Concern for client safety, welfare and satisfaction is beyond words but can go with the three mentioned. Food and lodging were far more than expected. A unique rafting trip to say the least. Would not hesitate to recommend Momentum Rafting to anyone, without reservation. Hope to do another, would probably have to be the same trip, I am spoiled.
Wish my best the Anthony and the support and encouragement he provided throughout the trip. Thanks to you Pete for bearing with me through all the questions before the trip. Lodging at both the Flagship and Marriot are highly recommended. Marriot is a great geteaway at the end of the trip.
Hope to be back in Oregon sooner than you think. Thanks again. George

What a Great Time! 'Given the fact that I originally signed up for the Illinois and had to be diverted at the last minute to the Rogue due to water conditions, it was probably a blessing in disguise. The Rogue River trip was awesome! So beautiful at every turn. Even the weather Gods were with us. I now have a new appreciation for rapids ratings (Class I, II, III,etc) and might think twice about booking an extreme adventure. LOL! The expertise of our guides made the journey safe, relaxing, exciting when it should be, and the food was out of this world!
This was my first guided float trip and I'll have to say that guides Anthony and Adam are NUMBER ONE!! They worked so hard, were pleasant, entertaining, accommodating, SKILLED, friendly; they truly made my trip a memorable experience.
Hey, guys! How about that 9-nine Owyhee trip next spring! Looking forward to it.

GREAT TRIP-Salmon and Scott Rivers-May 2009 'The Great team of guides who is safety conscious, explains and navigates the rivers expertly, treats all with respect, and prepares wholesome, tasty food.'
Cal Salmon Rafting 'Hello, Pete!
I just wanted to let you know what an amazing weekend we had on the Salmon.
I'd also like to thank Anthony, Rachel and Derek for being such amazing hosts to us. We were blown away by the hospitality.
Not only are they extremely professional on the river but great people to be around in camp!
I could not think of better people to show us such an amazingly good time than those three. Please send our regards and well wishes for the future to all to them!
I will definitely be recommending Momentum to anyone I know that will be rafting in California and Oregon.
Thanks again!

Even though I was apprehensive at first I had an amazing time, and I'm ready for something a little more intense.

Great time! 'I was one of the 11+ people on the Austin Adventure 2008 and had a wonderful time. The guides were so kind, friendly, experienced and also great cooks, that I let any anxiety go right away. The equipment saved us from freezing on the second day of the trip, so thank you for that too! And we adored Millhouse!
Hope to see you again next year!

Wow! 'Wow! Out rafting adventure down the Upper K was the most fun I've ever had! Our guide Erik was great; really knowledgeable not only about rafting but local history, the environment, and wildlife. And the food was great!! Thank you so much for such a great day. I can't wait to try the No.Cal. trip next year!!'
Upper Klamath 'Yo Anthony!
We couldn't have asked for a better guide. You were so professional and personable that the 3 ladies on the raft who had pre-raft jitters (read - terrified) want to go again! Excellent trip and time well spent!

Rafting 'Momentum Rafting doesn't do themselves justice. We were extremely pleasantly surprised with the great food, the small groups, the knowledge shared, and the amazing river!! SO much less commercial than our last trip and so much more time on the river. And all at a really great price given all the extras.'
Thanks! 'Thanks for the great trip! I will definitely recommend your guide services and Momentum River Expeditions. We’ll be up next summer with the girlfriends and likely more people and will look you up then. Good luck with the new family and house hunting!'
great trip this weekend! 'After a last minute cancellation from “another rafting company” on Thursday, me and some friends went on-line and found your company. Not only were you able to accommodate our group of 15 in short notice, but now, we will always recommend your company! We had such a great time! Rachel was our guide and such an expert! Professional, personable and fun. Thank you to you and your team for showing us such a great time. I will pass along your company name and encourage folks to book their trips through you. We’ll also be looking forward to planning another trip with you guys in the future. '
Hey Alan! 'We had an AMAZING time with you, and are definitely planning on coming back next year; hopefully with a couple of friends and hopefully for a 2-3 day trip :) Alan, you did such a great job -- even Kris was able to get through her anxiety and to feel safe enough to have a blast :) We'll be asking for you to guide us again! Enjoy the rest of the summer :) '
Hello Peter and company, 'This is a big THANK YOU from New York! My husband and I just returned home and wanted to send you an e-mail thanking you and your team. We want you to know that your crew is absolutely wonderful.
Everyone we spoke to and worked with was top notch and extremely helpful and professional. You have a great company and it shows and speaks volumes in your entire crew's spirit and teamwork. Your guides, Alex and Adam, are SUPERB! Both Alex and Adam are at the top of their game. They are very knowledgeable in their field, and it was very comforting, especially for newcomers.
I wish to point out that it is the "little things" that often go unnoticed in a trip transaction, but Momentum River Expeditions takes it to a higher level for their customers---which my husband and I very much noticed and appreciated. From the "booking folks" to the drivers and especially your two very special guides--everyone was very kind and you could tell they were just "darn nice to the core" people. I was a nervous at first on the raft, but that only lasted a few seconds thanks to your guides. The guides taught us the necessary skills to have a fun and successful rafting tour. They were very informative about the local history too---which by the way was very interesting and impressive to hear about. Everyone on both rafts was "tuned in" and enjoying the history lessons. Really!
The entire team knew exactly how to run the tour and the coordination was outstanding. Your crew are people friendly, nice and patient! Additionally, we loved the breakfast and lunch food selections.
We hope to take another Momentum River Expeditions tour in the future!
Please do let ALL your crew know how much we appreciated them!
'
What a ride! 'Thank you all for a spectacular time! It was my first time rafting and I had an absolute blast!! Thanks Glenn for making the "short bus" the best ride ever!! Thanks to Adam, Anthony, Derrick and Julie too! We look forward to rafting with you again next year!!'
'I did it, I survived it, and most of all.....I loved it!! This afternoon, july 16, was a great experience for me to raft with you on the Roque river. It was my first time ever I have rafted!! Alex, our guide, had patience with me, just what I would like to say about the other rafting quests!!
Thank all of you for this very special experience on the Roque river, don't forget to say thank you to Neil,our driver, the man who made us the nice snack when we retourned from our exciting trip!!
Hope to do it again sometime!?!?
'
'Pete,
I am sure you had several guides that you could have given us, so I really appreciate that you gave us your best one, Alan. As you know I was a bit nervous putting my kids on the river, but what a great time we had as a family. I found the trip adventurous and safe and your company very qualified. We rode with another family that used your company last year and raved about you during the trip. The river was incredible and my kids are still talking about it. Alan was a true professional with a lot of experience that immediately put me at ease. I new if a problem arose he would go into that river with me without hesitation after my kids even at great risk to himself. My kids are already asking when are we going back. When we get back out to the Northwest we will certainly call you to book another trip. Please pass on my thanks to Alan for an unbelievable experience.
'
Fabulous 3 days 'Pete -
Just wanted to drop you a quick note upon our return to civilization (or maybe it should really be referred to as uncivilization) to tell you what a fabulous three days we had on the river with Rachel and Alex. This easily ranks as one of the best vacations we've ever had. Alex and Rachel are the best! We are already talking about what kind of trip we could do with them next year. Please pass along our deepest thanks to them and of course many thanks to you as well for setting up such a memorable adventure to a truly special place.
'
Great Trip 'Our family rafted with Alex and Anthony. It was a great day for our family of two parents and five kids, ages 15-23. Alex and Anthony were great in guiding us and giving us interesting information. We enjoyed our day and would recommend the trip to any family.'
River rafting trip! 'It was just the right amount of time for a river rafting trip to last. The lunch was delicious, with lots of fresh fruit! The guides were fun and made us feel safe and like he actually needed us to paddle. It was such a fun trip! I would definitely go again.'
Rockin Campout~ 'Hi Guys!

Special Thanks to Glen, Anthony, Adam, Julie and Derrick our very special guides, cooks, and driver:)We felt very at ease with you guys and most important felt safe while tackling the white waters...We also appreciated all the GOOD FOOD! very healthy and fullfilling...dayum you guys have skills..lol...So until we meet again next year 4(Cal Sal)

100%FUN 'I am holding Momentum Rafting completely responsible for turning my entire family in to a bunch of....White Water Junkies!!!! There are very few times when all of us, with 3 teenagers, are all on the same page and 100% happy and present in an activity. This was one of those times. When our guide Robyn told our 3 kids to sit in the front of the raft and to simply enjoy a fun rapid that was coming up, and then proceeded to plow the raft in to a giant standing wave that completely drenched everyone on board, was one of the great highlights of our trip. The squeals and screams were priceless. All of the guides and the fabulous support crew worked extra hard to christen a new camp site and to make sure that everyone was well taken care of. The food was wonderful and the stories were entertaining. We are already scouting for our next river to conquer!! Thanks Pete!!'
Hello Pete! 'I am just writing to let you know that we had such a mind-boggling time on the Upper Klamath!
Everyone was consistently talking about how great of trip it was, and how the FOOD WAS AMAZING! Moreover and most important the staff (Anthony, Glenn, Adam, Julie and Derrick) who were just unbelievably super! I believe our group bonded with them and we all just had such a rockin time ( Glenn: Rock on!..inside joke:)) Your staff just left us with such a vast impression we all decided that your number one in our trips to come( By the way we are already planning it!) Cal Salmon here we come!!! Lol! Please thank the crew for us again and I can’t thank you enough for running such an organized and welcoming company! You know what they say, “Big things, come in small packages”
Once again, Thank you and you will definitely be hearing from us again!
Sincerely,
Veronica and the troop
'
The Upper K 'As a first timer, you and Adam were awesome guides and I felt completely comfortable with you two at the helm.Thank you for your direction and fun personalties!! That was a big part in making my experience even more exhilerating that I thought it would be. I cannot wait to do the Cal Salmon with you in the Spring and hope to bring several friends. And, I maybe back on the Upper Klamath run before the summer is out. Wooo Hooooo!'
fabulous time we had rafting the upper Klamath 'Hi Pete!
We had to let you know directly what a fabulous time we had rafting the upper Klamath with Erik! He was a wonderful guide, historian and geologist and really made it so worthwhile. Adam and Arnie were also great and our huge complements on your fabulous team! Continued success, we'll be highly recommending you to all and hope to join in the fun again.
Best,
Eileen and Anthony

July 18, 2008 Upper Klamath Trip 'It was a great trip. Food was excellent. Guides worked extremely hard in great spirits; the business has good equipment; the Aussie did a thorough job of training and laying out expectations before embarking and Alex, our personal guide was a veritable encyclopedia of flora, fauna and area history - plus a really weird sense of humor (just kidding). And last but not least, this trip probably has the biggest and most concentrated sets of waves in summertime Oregon rafting.'
Great trip!! 'Just wanted to send our kudos and thanks to Alex, Rachel, and the folks at Momentum River Expeditions for an outstanding trip down the Klamath yesterday. Our guides were personable, proficient, and enthusiastic about their jobs. We knew we were in safe hands and loved being part of the crew. A wild ride in the rapids,quiet interludes and peeks at wildlife (even some pelicans!) delicious and healthy food, and entertaining stories - what more could you ask from a day on the beautiful Klamath?! We will definitely join you again.'
Dragon\'s Tooth in a Kayak was a BLAST! 'Hi Pete,
Well once again we had a wonderful trip on the Lower Klamath. Julie, Alex and Adam were great fun yet very responsible and professional at the same time. They are an asset to your company.
The trip was varied again this year....a great deal of wildlife including our first bear!....a little scary time spent in a hole....and Xan taking on Dragons Tooth with me in a kayak was a blast.
The kids really do treasure the memories we make on this trip and that is down to you and your team......for that I thank you.
'
Rafting Bliss! 'Pete and Rachel, YOU ROCK as the river rocked, swirled flowed and gave us the greatest joy and laughter all the way down the Upper Klamath. I decided to go with Momentum having never heard of them so really it was on a whim and truthfully now that I have rafted with Pete I feel there is no where else to go. I felt safe because he was so very present with us and taught us the details of safety and truthfully we needed it because WOW the upper Klamath is a wild one with the greatest rapid runs and whitewater I have yet experienced before. I have rafted in many places but this was truly the best! I know, I know Pete.. Chile is next! Oh and let me not forget the great "Organic" food that Pete and Rachel supplied and prepared for us. Momentum is one of a kind that I highly recommend for your rafting pleasures!'
Great Time! 'Had to share that we had the best of times last weekend on the Upper Klamath 2-day trip. Our River-Guide, Rachel, was absolutely first rate, as was our Camp-Master, Derek. They both made everyone in the group feel like family, very welcoming and are excellent cooks as well !! We have rafted with other companies before, but have never enjoyed our time rafting nearly as much as with Momentum - the maturity of your guides and the sense of safety we felt being in their charge was worth the travel for us Southern Californians. See y'all next June on the Salmon, and maybe even some day in Chile!'
Weekend Highlight 'It was the highlight of our weekend. We would definitely do the trip again and will send word to friends. Thanks for a great day. '
Rachael 'Thank you so much. Hopefully we'll be able to get back next year with the whole family. If you're still in our little corner of the world, we'll be requesting you as our guide for sure!
A huge thanks to you and Derek for making our trip such a wonderful experience. The river and surrounding country are breathtaking, but our time there would not have been nearly as remarkable were it not for you. Thank you again for your expertise, graciousness, and joyful personality.

Lower Klamath 'Hey, Thanks to all for a great trip for our family. We took a 4 day, 3 night trip on the Lower Klamath. We all loved the trip and the kids are still raving about it. Rachael, Adam and Anthony were great guides and their skill, patience and expertise made us feel 100% confident in every aspect of the trip. The food was great.! '
The Rogue 'Thank you Adam. I have to admit I was really fearful at first, but my fears subsided once we were in the boat. You were a great guide, and we really had a enjoyable time. We will definitely do it again next time we are in Ashland.
Thanks'
Celebration of my 60th birthday 'I wanted to thank your company and most importantly your guide, Anthony for a rollicking good time last weekend. My older son, Marty scheduled floats on both the upper and lower Klamath rivers, 6/21 and 22.
It was in celebration of my 60th birthday. I am doing many different things to celebrate this event and
the trips on the river were certainly a highlight. I am still high from the adventure. Kudos to Anthony for his navigational abilities and more importantly his leadership. He has a steady, assured manner that is both supportive, humorous and knowledgeable. I especially like the way that he handled my initial fear when scouting one of the rapids on the lower Klamath. He got me through with confidence and was certainly right in
telling me that I “would regret it” if I didn’t take the waves. Following closely behind like a duckling, made it easy.
Thanks again. I hope to “float’ with your company in years to come.

Thanks for the memories!!! 'Your excursion was awesome, the food unbelievable (didn’t expect anything that great on a raft trip) and the guides were super. I’ve never seen five people work so hard and make it look so effortless. They really treated us like royalty. Trying to put together a trip with my family for next May. Will definitely call on Momentum…..special request for Anthony.
Thanks for the memories!!!
'
A Glorious Trip 'We're headed out on another adventure so I don't have much time for all the great feelings we have about the trip. It was a glorious trip. The scenery was as fantastic as we had anticipated and the weather even cooperated. The tents were easy, the pads cushy, the splash jackets perfect and the food terrific. But the contribution that you guides made to the enjoyment of the trip was immeasurable! '
Sometimes exciting, sometimes tranquil, and always desolate 'I had a great time on the Owyhee last month. It is a beautiful river, sometimes exciting, sometimes tranquil, and always desolate(isn't that part of what it makes it so
beautiful?!)
I wanted to write to you to tell you how impressed I was with the professionalism and talent of the three guides on the trip, Rachel, Anthony, and Alan. They were all fine cooks. They are incredibly nice people, with unlimited patience, superb social and leadership skills. Most importantly, their skills, experience, and knowledge on the river were outstanding, giving me confidence and eliminating concern for four fun filled days in Sunny Eastern Oregon!
'
One of the best water experiences 'Thank you so very much for one of the best water experiences I have ever had. As an avid open ocean sailor, I get adrenaline rushes very often while on the water. However, this ranks up there with the best of all of the sailing I have done. Beyond your expertise and concise instruction, your overall customer interaction and service was something I have never experienced before in any environment. This, along with the gourmet culinary skills, has me already considering my next trip with your company. '
'As someone who has rafted on commercial trips all over the western U.S. for over 15 years now, I can say without hesitation that your company is the FINEST outfit I have rafted with. The Cal Salmon trip was probably the 2nd best trip I have ever been on.'
The most outstanding part of our trip 'I just got home this evening. The rafting was the was the most outstanding part of our trip, and something Logan will no doubt keep with him forever. It couldn't have turned out better:). I will certainly keep Momentum in mind for future adventures. Your time and enthusiasm for the river was greatly appreciated and according to Logan, you "rock." Until next time...
'
The best graduation gift I could ever get 'It was certianly a great time on the river! I thank you for making it all so good, especially for my family. You are all so much fun to be around. I was amazed by the set-up you all provided. A special thanks to Pete for running such a great company, hiring great people and maintaining a laid back attitude. Kudos. Also thank you for being such a competent guide, keeping us afloat isn't easy in all situations, but you did it. The area was full of wild beauty and you knew so many answers to my questions. I definitley respect the knowledge people gain about their area. The trip was the best graduation gift I could ever get. You guys rock! Have a sweet summer.
'
Favorite Vacation Trip 'It was a great trip. Haley said it was one of her favorite vacation trips ever. We'll definitely do another trip in the future. Your whole staff and crew was great, it made the trip that much better.
'
Our first rafting experience 'We just wanted to thank you and your staff for a wonderful trip. This was our first rafting experience and we are definitely hooked. We will be back next year. Everyone was great, especially our guide, Alan. He was a pleasure to talk with and his knowledge of the area and confidence on the river made us feel very safe. Everything was professional and well organized and the food was great. Also, thank you to everyone for the anniversary cupcakes. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. You all helped make our anniversary celebration a very special one and one we will never forget'
Friendly and Competent 'Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our trip last Saturday. Both of us felt that Alan was a SUPERB guide - he was so friendly and competent that we felt totally relaxed on the trip, and the lunch he prepared for us on the river was spectacular.
We will definitely recommend your company to our friends.
'
'That was a terrific trip. I hope to do it again sometime. Your services were top notch and the amenities were more than I expected. I will certainly recommend you to others.'
Perfection 'This trip was an introduction to White water rafting for both my pre-teen kids and my 65 year old mother-in-law. I feel like I took them to the Louvre on their first visit to an art museum. If only I had a nickel for every time my 9 year old son turned to me after being swallowed up and spit out by a wall of water and said "that was AWESOME!".
A confident guide, great water, a perfect mix of going big and catching our breath, as well as great food in a beautiful setting. We'll be back!
That was AWESOME!

We're headed out on another adventure so I don't have much time for all the great feelings we have about the trip. It was a glorious trip.

Hopefully everyone will stay up for the reunion trip next year and hopefully we will pick a river you can take us on.
Thanks!!

Salmon River 'We had the best time ever on the Salmon River with you guys! It was a fantastic experience and we hope to raft with you again next year. Thank you for everything.

Rogue River Memories 'I took my 9 year old son for his 1st trip on the Rogue with Erik Jorgensen and we had an awesome time! I'd taken a 5 day Rogue River thriller trip years ago and was so delighted to have my son eager for his next trip thanks to Erik's skill and enthusiasm. Thanks Erik!!'
Lower Owyhee River in June 'This was by far the best vacation our family has taken. Besides breath taking scenery, fun rapids and the most excellent food, our guides created an atmosphere of relaxation and enjoyment. My kids will never forget Glenn, their guide who taught them games and gave them undivided attention. The peace and relaxation achieved was well, WOW! Thanks again. We will be back to raft the lower Klamath next year.'
Hello Pete, 'I just got this nice email from Anthony and it reminded me that I had wanted to write you say what a great time I had on the Owyhee last month. It is a beautiful river, sometimes exciting, sometimes tranquil, and always desolate(isn't that part of what it makes it so

Hi Rachel 'Hi Rachel,
Thanks for your message! Wow, it's strange to think that less than a month ago we were on that wild, beautiful river. Now I'm back in England, looking for a job and wondering if I can live in a place that has just so many people! What I do know is that I'll be back in Oregon before long.
'
Pete, Erik, Rachel, Anthony: 'Thanks to all of you! We had a great time and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You guys are a great group and I look forward to seeing you all again. I have already told several friends and colleagues at work about how great Momentum is, so I will make sure they reference that when they get in touch with you to book a trip.
Peace and a little hair grease,

Once again, thank you!

The Illinois 'I am really glad you guys got the Illinois permit as that is a perfect fit for your company. I am DEFINITELY going to try to make that trip next year; the Illinois has been on my "must do" list for some time now. And as someone who has rafted on commercial trips all over the western U.S. for over 15 years now, I can say without hesitation that your company is the FINEST outfit I have rafted with. '
Beyond expectations 'Thank you for providing the employees of Jacksonville Inn with a wonderful and exciting day on the Upper Klamath River. The skills of the guides made each and every one of us comfortable on the river, and the food was definitely beyond our expectations. All in all, Momentum Expeditions is definitely a first-class operation and we will not hesitate to recommend your service to our guests.

Spectacular Salmon 'I had an amazing three days on the Cal Salmon and Scott. The service, the food, and the friendships were all wonderful. And the rivers, the rivers were spectacular! I especially loved "airplane" rapid on the Salmon. Thank you so much.
'
Smith River 'I just wanted to thank you for an incredible day on the water. I have been on many river trips and few can compare to the beauty of the Smith. The entire experience was as good as it gets.
'
Fantastic trip 'I recently had the pleasure of being your guest, along with 15 of my colleagues from the Math Department at SOU, on the upper Klamath River. Many of us were doing white water rafting for the first time. We simply had a wonderful time. Your crew and guides were fantastic! We were fed delicious food, given excellent instructions, and our guides made sure we all had a fun and safe float down an awesome river. Thanks to you all for making our time so special.

Perma-grin! 'THANK YOU! You guys are incredible. Everyone who went is just raving about it. Stephanie said she still has a "perma-grin" on her face from the trip. I haven't been so relaxed in I don't know how long. We really felt like we were treated like queens.

Cal Salmon 'We had a blast. What a great white water trip! You and your crew were awesome. It was the best food of any river trip I have been on, especially your special french toast. The "feed your friends fondue feast" was great. All the special touches did not go unnoticed and the river sauna was a first for me. I LOVED IT! What really stood out above all was your commitment to safety. The river was BIG and all the measures you had in place to make us feel safe made the trip that much more fun. Keep up the good work (play).'
Exemplary! 'Thank you for such an incredible trip. This was my first rafting trip and the knowledge your guides had and the complete set-up was exemplary. I felt safe at all times on the river even when I wasn't in the boat and actually in the river. The food, the scenic area, the people, the games, and of course the rapids were nothing but top notch quality! Thanks again Pete for an amazing weekend; it's one that will be remembered!

Coming back for more! 'Hey! We all had a great time on the river! It's all we talked about for days. Now that we have had a taste of rafting, when the kids come up in September we will do the Upper Klamath. Thank You for the experience, and we are looking forward to September!

Unforgetable! 'Thanks again for the great trip! Brad, Amanda and I really enjoyed ourselves with you on the river. Brad is still "digging in" around the garden, but it's really not quite the same. We will give you a call again if we are ever up your way...we are now hooked!
'
Thank you! 'Hi Chad and Eric and the others as well,
Finally back in the Netherlands, and once more: many many thanks for our lovely rafting trip on the Lower Klamath: it was undoubtedly the high point of our vacation. We loved the rafting itself, the terrific food, the pleasant company and the sense of being in good hands: totally great: more than made true your advertisement at the bottom of that e-mail.
Best wishes, good luck with the environmental law etc,

The stories live on! 'I'm still telling stories because in addition to the half day Rogue trip I did the Klamath with Eric -- I really appreciated being with such Beings, kind, considerate and well skilled (such as yourselves) -- so I support your efforts and really had a lot of fun doing it. The food was perfect. Simply delicious good nutrition. Stick with your model, it will supersede the old paradigm. Being on the cutting edge takes time for everyone else to catch up (meaning the general public). But you're in Southern Oregon. That's a bonus.
Peace and Harmony,

Unwinding and destressing on the UK 'Thanks Erik for a great trip. It has definitely been the highlight of my summer. I forget how beautiful Southern Oregon is! The river and the area we camped in has such a strong spirit to it and it feels so "untouched". I really enjoyed the stories that you told us about the history of the land that we pass by as we are floating along. I had a hard time coming back to Portland afterwards. It always takes me until about mid July to unwind and destress from the school year and the trip definitely made me feel like summer/vacation was truly here and that I was finally relaxing to the core. We are all looking forward to the Cal Salmon next Spring. Take care and enjoy your travels.
Erica :)
'
Best time ever! 'Erik,
We had the best time ever. You were a fabulous guide. We couldn't have asked for better!! Best to you on your trip to Tibet. We fell so lucky to have picked your company for this trip. We will send you lots of referrals.
Fondly,
The Watts
'
We love you Chad! 'Hey, Chad! We sure had another great trip with you. We are going to be really sad when you get a Real Job and can't take us down the Klamath anymore...I know, I know, all the guides at Momentum are great, but we have grown quite comfortable with you. Girlie says she wants to do the Lower Klamath again next year, and with Chad. She loved it! We all did. What's not to love?? So glad you were able to join us for pizza afterwards, too.

Commitment to safety 'What really stood out above all was your commitment to safety. The river was BIG and all the measures you had in place to make us feel safe made the trip that much more fun...'
Highlight of the summer 'I certainly count the time we spent with you as a highlight of the summer. I've had more fun, I'm sure, but I certainly don't remember when.'
An excpetional company 'You and the staff of Momentum have created a kind, respectful, professional, nurturing atmosphere that allows the clients to truly feel that they are a part of the trip, rather than simply the "cattle" that are herded down the river. A few select few companies are working towards this same goal, but not at nearly the same level.'
Vacation Highlight '"...it was undoubtedly the high point of our vacation. We loved the rafting itself, the terrific food, the pleasant company and the sense of being in good hands..."'
Bravo! '"..we had a blast. What a great white water trip! You and your crew were awesome. It was the best food of any river trip I have been on... All the special touches did not go unnoticed..."'
Upper Klamath River 'Pete,
I appreciate your attention to details and sharing your passion with us. Thank you for your advice to take the Upper Klamath. If I go Class 5 then Cal Salmon may be the one. Next trip we take will be with my wife. I hope your business does well and I will recommend your company to anyone interested in great rafting trips. Paige was a pleasure to meet.
Regards,

YMCA trip 'Pete - I just wanted to say thanks again for a great rafting trip. I've worked with many companies on these Y trips in many states and Momentum was awesome. You were very professional, the guides were great, the food was fabulous. We all had a wonderful time and it was a great ending to our 2week trip.

Upper Klamath 'Just wanted to drop you a note saying that the Hatter family had a blast with you on the Upper Klamath rafting trip last week. You and Eric have a super operation from the food to the location to your "river side manner." Next time we are visiting relatives in Redding, I'll make sure it coincides with spring runoff so we can do Class V with your operation! Best Regards,

Perfect honeymoon 'Hey Pete, Thanks for the great trip. Alicia and I loved it. It was a fantastic way to spend part of our honeymoon! This may be the beginning of a love for rafting, and we have you and your crew to thank for it. Hopefully, we will be back rafting with Momentum soon.
peace,
Andy

Great trip! 'Chad,
We loved our rafting trip with you and Aisling! You two were excellent guides and cooks too! It was the highlight of our trip. We really appreciated the care in preparing the food, the organic and tasty ingredients and feeling pampered! We also appreciated your patience with Geo and letting everyone have fun while staying safe. You seemed to know
when to pull in the reins and when to let them make their own mistakes.
Michele, Mick, Ashley, Luke and Geo

Thanks Alan! 'Hi Alan,
We thoroughly enjoyed our rafting expedition with you, Alan. You were a superb guide - especially in the area of safety. It was especially nice to hear your stories about what it was like growing up on the river - your summers with your grandparents - how the river and the quiet and solitude of the area drew you back to your roots. When Daniel and I are next in the area we will be sure to book another tour with Momentum and you can rest assured that we will specifically ask for you to be our guide.

Many thanks! 'Hi Pete, we had a really great time, your knowledge of nature and the local landscape made the trip interesting and the river was so exciting! Gil and I will always remember your interest in the people you guide and have already told our friends about the fantastic time we had and the terrific guide you are!'
Deluxe! '"What a premier company you have got going! I have been rafting with groups for over 20 years and you guys are DELUXE! The little things go along way in demonstrating the class act you provide."
