We booked a package to ride the train from Durango to Silverton then take a bus back to raft down the river. The train broke down on our way up so we did not get to see Silverton, but the rafting was enough fun for my family to make us forget about that :) Jesse and Kaleb were our guides and they were great!

Everytime my family and I come to Durango, Co. we always can rely on Mild to Wild rafting to really be the most memorable moment of the trip! All the instructors are just hilarious and down to earth people, and make you feel a part of the crew instantly! The rafting itself is beautiful sight seeing and also has some adrenaline rushes! My instructor from yesterday was Rip, and he was super cool, and definitely one of my favorite instructors thus far! If you are a tourist and are looking for opinions my opinion is you'll regret not going! It's an awesome experience :)
