We had an awesome family introduction to white water rafting with Mild to Wild in Durango, CO.! We did the economy 2 and a half hour trip through the town, ending with the Waterpark rapid section! The trip was perfect for my three kids ages 7,10,and 13. Mostly small rapids through town, but end with some real solid stage Threes in the "Waterpark" at the end. Our guide, Joe at the ripe old age of 21 was fantastic! He studies Mathmatical Economics at CU Boulder, but is a heck of a rafting guide in the summer. He had lots of history knowledge and a lot of "Local Lore". We are pumped to move up to some bigger rapids and a longer trip now. Thanks Joe and Mild to Wild!

Very good rafting Trip. Kelly was a very good guide. She was engaging and knowledgeable. This is an easy rafting trip - not very technical.
