Had a blast. Perfect trip for first timers. Mary our guide was the best! They stopped about 1/3rd of the way and fed us cut up fruit and granola bars. Also there was a restroom. This surprised us for such a short trip. 3hrs on the river.

We had an excellent trip down the lower Animas. Rio (guide) was awesome, making it fun and safe for all. Highly recommend Mild to Wild and Rio if you want to request a fantastic guide.

Thanks for your recommendation of Mild to Wild, and our guide Rio! We really appreciate it. Feel free to request Rio for one of our other trips as well. His favorite is the San Miguel outside of Telluride, CO
