We had a great time rafting. Parker, our guide, was awesome.I would highly recommend mild 2 wild if you are in the Durango area.

Our rafting trip was a nice mix of calm enough water to get out and swim and rapids that make your adrenaline pump, without anything too extreme. Our guide Robbie, was super knowledgeable and kept it fun. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll definitely be back.

Our family had a great first rafting experience on the Lower Animas. Our tour guide Don, was excellent with the kids (aged 9 - 13) and did a great job navigating us down the river. The kids loved 'surfing' on the river and this rafting excursion was a definite highlight of our trip.
