Our family was in Durango for a few days on our way to the Grand Canyon and wanted to do some rafting. Mild to wild was the most affordable for the time you get on the river. Our guide, Ted, was awesome! He was really knowledgeable and made the whole experience so fun! He also recommended a great taco spot! Would definitely recommend to family and friends!! Can’t wait to come back!

Always wanted to do white water rafting. I’m now 70 and have finally done it. The river was in flood and running fast and I never felt unsafe. Our guide was only about 21 but she did a great job. We all stayed on board although someone fell out of one of the other rafts, but was quickly hauled back on board. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world. If you are thinking about it, go!

So glad you didn't wait till you were 71 to get your first rafting trip in! Now you can get your 2cd in when you are 72, your third when you are 73, ect. We can't wait!

Had an AMAZING time with our tween/teen boys hauling down the beautiful Animas River! I'd definitely request Scotty of @mild2wildrafting, he was super knowledgeable, experienced and very humorous. It really made our experience truly special

So happy to hear you had a special trip with us and Scotty on the Animas River. Scotty is even better on our over night trips because he is an amazing cook and historian. Join us for one of those trips and request Scotty.
