From beginning to end, Mild to Wild was on top of things. The registration, check-in, and outfitting were smooth and easy, and our guide Nickol was such an engaging and knowledgeable professional. The rafting tour itself was great for beginners like me and my family, and the stretch of River we rafted (lower Animas) had between class 1 and class 3 rapids.The entire staff made it a great experience!

Our guide, Noel, was great. Rafting was certainly more tame than we expected but apparently normal for the time of year.

Me and my family had never been white water rafting before and having our first experience at Mild to Wild definitely made us want to do it again. Our guide Robby was so fun! He was super funny, friendly and was a great guide all around. My family loved Robby and think that he made the trip even better!
