Hayden was a first class guide! This trip was one designed to “get our feet wet” with rafting, and it met our expectations. Instructions were succinct and concise, communication of upcoming river features was very clear, and conversation was personable, yet professional making this a top notch experience. From the time you book the trip, Mild to Wild keeps you abreast of your upcoming adventure via email as you near your trip date, even up to the day before, to ensure you have everything you need, all your questions answered, and to set your expectations high so the day of your trip is focused on fun! Many thanks to the Mild to Wild crew for a fantastic adventure!

From the reservations process to the guided raft trip, Mild to Wild exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back for a multi day raft trip spring break. The Jeep tour into the mountains and our guide, Jerry, was also fantastic. The colors are starting to change and the views can’t be beat.

Thanks so much for sharing your rafting experience and jeep tour experience with Mild to Wild. We can't wait to see you in the spring on the Upper Salt River in Arizona, or Cataract Canyon in Moab, Utah!
