I can't say enough nice things about our experience rafting the Animas River with Mild to Wild. We weren't sure if our 9 year old would freak out just listening to the safety talk, but it was done in such a professional way (not at all scary!), and after about 20 seconds on the river, she was having a blast! Our guide, Kat, was AWESOME! She was great with all of the kids on our raft, made us laugh, and had the best stories to tell. We weren't ready to get off the river, so next time we'll do a longer trip for sure!
