Mild to Wild Rafting was an amazing trip! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Checking in was easy, getting our equipment a breeze, and the short drive to put in the river was lickety split! The best part? Dillon.....our AMAZING guide! He obviously loves what he does and made it that much more fun for my family of 4! I highly recommend this tour!

Our family of 5 and a friend (kids ages 12, 16, 17, and 18) enjoyed a wonderful Lower Animas rafting trip. We are Durangoans and have done this trip many times before. The 8 AM trip was perfect for a clear hot Durango morning. Saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed a drift through town. The water was so clear. Smelter rapid did not disappoint. We always have great guides with Mild to Wild but on this trip, Chris was exceptional. Very professional and friendly and gave us lots of extras like “raft surfing” below Smelter. I also got to scope out some great spots for fly fishing through town. It was altogether a nice family outdoor activity for a summer day in the beautiful mountains of SE Colorado. Well worth the price. We felt safe (from CoVID too) during the whole experience. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with Mild to Wild.
