Yup it was a blast! I have kayaked and rafted for a many of years back East. Usually was the guide or just with friends, never with an organization. Mild to Wild organization was a put together operation. Great people, good equiptment, very upbeat positive attitude by our guide Victoria. Safety class gave a pretty good indepth criteria for what to do or expect on the river. Had it organized quick at the launch and we were off and rafting. Was a all around great day...weather, water, wind and just plain wonderful fun time. We set up the afternoon trip so it would be a little warmer due to the cold water temps from runoff. If you can, do the Premiere package, its fewer bodies in the boat, we only had 4 plus Victoria (boss lady) Oh yea this was the Lower Animas River.

We had a great time on our rafting tour. The instruction was clear and made us feel well informed on what to expect. The kids had a great time! Dillon was an excellent raft guide. Funny and engaging with all of the guests.
