Our family had a great time with Scrap on our half day rafting adventure!! He and the other guides did an awesome job both keeping our group safe and encouraging us to have a lot of fun!

We had an amazing time rafting the lower Animas river with Mild to Wild. It was our first time rafting and our guide, Callie, was awesome at showing us the ropes. Callie really made it a spectacular trip. The guides even made the bus rides from the put in and take out points fun by making conversation and telling jokes. We will definitely raft with Mild to Wild next time we ate in Durango.
