What a wonderful time! JOSH was our guide, and he was awesome! Friendly, extremely knowledgeable and skilled on the river, and a great sense of humor. The views were beautiful, and the ride was fun (it was low water, but Josh made sure that my daughter got wet, which was so perfect!!) Our group was me (40+ mom), my 3 20-ish yr old kids, and my 75 yr old dad. We had a variety of skill levels and physical abilities, but Josh made sure that we all had a great time, laughed a lot, and were safe. Thanks for a great experience! I could not have asked for more!

Had a great time on the rafting trip on lower Animas river in Durango. Our raft guide Julio was 100% committed to our safety & enjoyment. The entire staff at Mild to Wild from initial booking, to check in, videos, and orientation were professional, friendly & enthusiastic. Great way to take in the great outdoors.
