I took my family of four - my husband and I, and our two kids, ages 7 and 9 on a "Mild" trip down the Animus river. I had been on other rafting trips were the raft flipped and I was concerned about that with my two kids along. I knew we would encounter some rapids - but M2W assured us that there was nothing to worry about. And there wasn't! It was gorgeous, refreshing and fun - with just enough thrills to keep my nine year old son satisfied. Now, we never miss a chance to raft with Mild to Wild whenever we visit Durango!

From the San Miguel in Telluride to the Upper Animas in Durango, Mild to Wild is the outfitter for my family and friends. Their guides are fun and friendly but very professional and expert when it comes to running the rapids. The entire family always enjoys the day on a Class II - III river. And we always plan another fun day for a Class IV - V raft for the bigger guys!! Go BIG or Go Home!!! What a thrill!! Molly and her staff are the best at making sure I have everything I need as well as making me feel welcomed and appreciated. I can't describe the beauty you see while rafting. The thrill of the rapids along w/ the sense of security relying on the guides' experience will keep us coming back!! Hope to see you on the rivers next June!!
