Caleb was our guide. He was great. He guided us down the river, told the funniest jokes and made the day fun. I have been on two raft trips with Mild to Wild and I would choose them again!

DO THIS! We had a blast on our half day river trip down the Animas. Steve, our guide, was phenomenal and a great match for our family. I highly recommend Mild to Wild for a raft trip; the whole experience was excellent!
