We loved the sections of the trip where we all got shoved around in the boat. It's July 4th and the water is still freezing! But, still awesome and everyone got wet. We loved our Raft Guide, Wolfgang. He worked hard! Definitely want to come back. It felt like a party day.

This is our second time taking visitors on the 1/2 lower Animas rafting trip. River is full from all the rain so trip was fantastic. 10 and 11 year olds had a blast as did all the 50 and 60 year olds. Dylan was a fantastic guide—lots of patience with the kids even when the 10 year old refused to scrunch a little more into the raft in preparation for the big rapids.

We had such a good time. Our guide, Emma, was fun, knowledgeable, safe, professional and skilled. Pretty sure she could have made that raft do anything! The whole experience with Wild to Mild was excellent. We will be back.
