What a fun trip! Our guides Lenny and Zack were so fun and full of info about the river and the area. The food was also great and accommodated dietary restrictions. Mild to Wild management went above and beyond to make sure our trip was one we will always remember! (Thanks for the special extras!). We HIGHLY recommend this trip for rafting newbies.Posted on Google![]()

Jay (James) was absolutely spectacular! His knowledge of the plants, rocks, and surrounding area, along with his humor and conversational skills, truly made for a phenomenal experience. Our entire group had an amazing time exploring the backcountry, looking at rocks, admiring the changing colors in the trees, and taking some great photos. Thank you, Jay, for being so accommodating to everyone's desires, and ensuring that we all, regardless of physical ability, had the absolute best time possible.Posted on Google![]()

Where do I begin? Jay met us in Durango and gave us a beautiful van ride up to Silverton filled with history, geology and plant lessons. We stopped a couple times for photo ops. The off-road portion was a great experience with 11 of us in the back of the modified pick up. More fun times with Jay! We took the train back to Durango and it was beautiful however we missed Jay! We had an amazing time and would recommend this excursion. Does Jay do other tours? Thank you Jay…Posted on Google![]()
