We had a blast on the Lower Animas rafting trip! Ben was great! He was funny and very knowledgeable! We are planning another raft trip in Arizona next February with Mild2Wild! Cant wait!

We can't wait for whitewater rafting on Arizona's Salt River with you either. It is predicted to be an El Nino year which is big snow for the SW mountains...which means big water for our rivers! See you in March or April!

Our group had the absolute BEST time rafting with Don on the Lower Animas. The river is CRAZY low, but he seriously made this the best rafting experience ever. We had one Class III rapid on our trip, but boy did he make the best of it. Lets just the the kids will NEVER forget it! Mild to Wild was a great company to work with for our group. We will definitely be back for more!

This excursion was a blast! The water levels are low currently in Durango, but our tour guide still made sure the trip was exciting. Elena, aka Danger, did an amazing job keeping us entertained the entire trip. Our kids loved her and she made the experience memorable for the whole family. If you are in Durango, definitely check out Mild to Wild for an excursion and ask for Elena to be your guide...you won’t be disappointed!
