We booked the same morning for a Lower Animas River Rafting Trip. We shared the raft with a great family from the Detroit area and our guide was Mary, a sweet college age woman who loves her summer job! Well, who wouldn’t! I recommend Mild to Wild for your adventure.

Our family of four (incl. 2 older teens) enjoyed Mild to Wild's San Miguel rafting trip. We wanted an activity that would be exciting but not too strenuous while we acclimated to mountain altitudes. The San Miguel trip was perfect for our aims. What a beautiful river! We previously took a rafting trip down the Animas River near Durango with another tour company, but we felt our San Miguel river trip was far more scenic, active and interesting. Our guide Bella was expert in navigating the strainers and rocks along the river and was also pleasant company. Thanks for a great trip!
