This was our second time with Mild to Wild….this time we brought family! Best wishes to Creel! His brother might be cool, but Creel is the coolest! 🫡😂 If you’re in the Durango area - book a tour with these folks. You won’t regret it!! Note: looked at my trip advisor post from July 2018.

He went above and beyond to make sure our daughter had the best time. He took her down the falls, let her paddle the raft and made her feel included throughout the trip. She had an absolute blast, and his kindness and patience made the experience even more memorable for our family. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Important Considerations
- Tubing can be hard work especially at lower water levels. There can be a lot of rocks to avoid and difficulties in finding the deepest channels.
- The lower the water is, the more challenging it is. A better option is often a guided inflatable kayak trip. The guide will navigate you through the passable channels and your shuttle is taken care of!
- No open containers of alcohol are allowed on the river.
- No glass containers.
- Pack out all trash and dispose of it in the proper receptacle.
- Dogs must be on a leash on shore and dog waste must be cleaned up.
- Respect private property and do not trespass.
- Be polite and courteous to others on and near the river.
- When approaching anglers, move away to the opposite side of the river to pass.
