Brad Yule
Guide
A Colorado native, I am hooked on the cycle that starts with snow sports that, as days get longer and warmer, transition to liquid-water sports. I’ve guided rafts and kayaked on and off for more than 20 years, including a little paddling through Mexico, Central and South America, and some east-coast action guiding a season on the Gauley. While not on the river or doing some other outdoor sport, I like to cook, garden, read, and sell kettle corn at the farmer’s market. I have a degree in geology from the University of Puget Sound that helps me appreciate the outdoor landscape and the geologic processes that created it. When summer is over, I am an elementary school teacher and I teach skiing and snowboarding on the weekends and holidays. I like to bring my teenage daughter on raft trips when I can, and this year she is working in the shop and shuttling paddle boards. Next summer, when she’s old enough, and if I raised her right, she’ll start guiding.What Our Customers Say
- My husband and I took our two boys (6&10) rafting with Aspen White Water Rafting and had the absolute BEST time! Marina, Leah and Fathom were our guides, they made it fun while keeping everyone safe ! We would highly recommend this company if you’re looking for your family but based on the girls experience and stories they’d be great at a more advanced rafting trip as well. Our kids can’t wait for our next river trip !read moreread lessJenifer Sanregret9/14/2023We had such a great day with our guide Adaire (and Lenny)! My husband and I brought our 17 year old daughter and her 2 friends. We were a little anxious, but felt so safe and confident with our guide. They were so much fun and professional. We will definitely come back again!read moreread lessNatalie P9/03/2023
- Charles was an amazing guide! He is super knowledgeable about the wild life and surrounding area. A rafting tour with Aspen Whitewater is the way to see this area of Colorado. Absolutely gorgeous and a ton of fun! The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful. We had a huge group (8 boats) and every single one of us had a fantastic time. 10/10 would recommend Aspen Whitewater Rafting – just watch out for Charles’ corny jokes, you may find yourself laughing.read moreread lessKirsty Wallace8/22/2023Kyle was our guide and he was the best!! We had a blast on our first whitewater rafting trip as a family. Our kids are ages 14 and 11 and they loved it! We chose the upper roaring forks trip and it was very fun. I highly recommend this group to guide you down the river. They were wonderful!!read moreread lessJaycie Mirabella1/18/2023Faboulous exprierence rafting the Colorado River under the guidance of Sam. Level 3 rapids for beginners was perfect under Sam’s coaching and navigating the big stuff in the river. His great knowledge of the surrounding town’s history was a huge plus as you make your way down the river, and loved his sense of humor. 5 out of 5 stars for Sam and AWR Company.
