To start off I’d just like to say that this place was awesome. It started out rainy and cold and I was NOT excited to go out on the water.. the guides made this entire trip so fun! Our guide was Elena.. she was soo personable!! She got our entire group involved in conversation together which I felt like just helped us work better together. She had some Fun stories to share that also just made the trip fun uplifting and overall a fantastic time. The other guides that where on the other rafts where also extremely nice! I enjoyed so much how well they all worked together. From their inside “what are the odds” to fun water fights with other rafts they made the experience awesome! I’d rate this awesome ride as a must do! Ask for Elena as your guide! Her enthusiasm and joy are truly contagious!! Also ask her how her dog copper is doing off the leash!

Elena is a huge asset to our team! Copper is still working on his listening skills, but we are all doggy lovers! Thank you for choosing Mild to Wild. We would love to have you back for another adventure!

Our family had a blast rafting on the Animas River with Trey as our guide. This Economy package is ideal for families and 1st time white water rafters. Trey spiced-up the trip with lots of unexpected and fun rafting diversions. Would highly recommend this outfit, as they were experienced, professional, and fun.
