Our family group of 8 had an amazing half-day rafting trip. The company was well-run, and the scenery was gorgeous! We felt like we won the river guide lottery with our guide, Liam H. We’ve been on rafting trips before, and Liam was the best guide we’ve had! Everyone - teens included - had a blast! We highly recommend Mild to Wild Rafting. If you get the chance, this rafting trip in Durango, CO is fantastic.

We had a great time going down the lower Animas River with our amazing guide, Liam H.! He was very knowledgeable about the river, its history, and the wildlife. The rafting was so exciting, and Liam was great at teaching us how to paddle down the river safely. We had so much fun and will definitely remember this wonderful adventure!
