Due to the current changes with the Durango Silverton Train for 2021, Mild to Wild will not be booking train tickets for guests this year. Guests are still welcome to combine our Lower Animas Rafting trips with the Durango Silver Train, they will just book with the train directly.
The Durango Silverton Train is currently running 5-hour round trips through Cascade Canyon, which is a great addition to our Lower Animas Economy Rafting trip for a full day of adventure. This is a perfect way to get the ultimate Durango experience if you are short on time and want a little excitement paired with an incredibly scenic train ride.
To book the Cascade Canyon Express train trip, visit their website here. Mild to Wild will take care of the rafting side of things, keep scrolling for more information about combining these tours.

15 foot self-bailing rafts (up to 10 guests).
We use Oar Boats or Paddle Boats on these trips depending on water levels. Oar Boats, typically used at high water, come with a frame that give the guide more control with oars. With Paddle Boats, typically used at low water, the guide just has a paddle and relies on you to help get through the rapids!

Rafting is not recommended for ages 80+
