We took our Youth Group rafting on the 3/4 Day Lower Animas. It was a blast. The three raft guides we had did an excellent job. Lauren, Josh, and Destiny were excellent guides and very professional. All of the teens and leaders enjoyed their time on the river. This is the second year we have used Mild to Wild, last year we raftered in Moab, Utah. I can say that both trips have been professional and well done. Thank you Mild to Wild for making the trips great.

Outfitter and our guide James were great! Well run operation and all around fun trip! We've been on several guided raft trips over the years. Mild to Wild has quality gear and rafts which you'll appreciate compared to other outfitters.
