Experience many rivers in professionally-guided oar rafts with delicious meals, inflatable kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.
Specialty trips include dark sky stargazing, women’s river and yoga trips, and music trips on the river.

ENSTROM PEPPERMINT
COOKIE BARK
Enstrom Peppermint Cookie Bark is just one of the many handcrafted treats that come out of the candy kitchen of Enstrom Candies. This classic holiday confection is made of rich white and dark chocolate, crunchy chocolate and vanilla cookies and sprinkled with crushed peppermint, and only for the holidays.
For over 60 years, Enstrom Candies has been celebrated for their handcrafted Almond Toffee. Today, Enstrom Candies remains a family business — now in its fourth generation — and has expanded its products to include a variety of chocolates, popcorn, ice cream and of course Peppermint Cookie Bark. Every batch of candy is still made in Grand Junction, Colorado at the original factory.
Gift only the best this year and shop the delightful confections at enstrom.com.
SUNWARD JEWELRY
Sunward is a collection of jewelry and accessories handmade from genuine leather and recycled fine silver.
Each piece of jewelry is inspired by a scene or story from the mountain west. Precious metal clay is molded from natural elements, carved linoleum or hand sculpted. After a kiln fire the result is a pure fine silver ready to be made into a set of earrings or crafted into a unique necklace.
Custom burned western hats are also a Sunward staple. Customers can help create a custom look by combining veg-tanned leather hat bands, gemstones, and finish it off with a customizable hand-burned graphic.
Carrie concepts, designs and makes each item in her Gypsum, Colorado home studio. With a graphic design background, her pieces are truly one-of-a-kind. Branding for businesses is also a passion of Carrie’s, whether it’s design or laser engraving swag.
