I'm a Durango local, and I used Mild to Wild to take my visiting friend and his family on a a 1/2 day raft trip down the Animas River. Our guide, Max, was new to Colorado and to being a guide, but he was extremely professional at his job. He was great interacting with the kids, was very engaging, and a lot of fun! Having such new guide be so professional speaks volumes about the first class operation run at Mild to Wild. I'd recommend them to anyone, local or visitor. You won't be disappointed!

My family and I just came back from Durango and rafting with Mild to Wild. Abby, our guide was awesome. Her knowledge of the area was expansive and she made everyone feel safe. We will definitely be back next year for another trip with Mild to Wild. Thank you to Abby and all the crew for a trip we'll never forget.
