Our party of 5 was with Ben, who was an excellent guide! The river was great with amazing views. There were a few fun rapids with a lot of relaxing time on the water in between. If you have any phones you can definitely get by with a dry bag.

We had a wonderful time on our rafting trip on the lower Animas river trip. It was amazing and we would highly recommend it to anyone! Our guide John P was awesome and really did a wonderful job guiding us novice rafters safely down the river. Would highly recommend Mild to Wild for anyone looking at doing a rafting trip!

This was a great rafting trip for our family of 7! Ages ranged from 44 down to 9years old. Some of us were a little hesitant and inexperienced rafters but our guide Andrew helped us all have a fun time!!! We all agree we would whitewater raft again and we will totally use Mild to Wild in the future!
