About This Trip
Durango Silverton Train and Our Rafting and Jeep Packages
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 Rafting, Jeep, Zip Line and Mesa Verde tours with the Durango Silver Train, they will just book with the train directly.
The Durango Silverton Train is currently running 10-hour and 5-hour round trips, as well as one-way trips to and from Silverton, Colorado. To browse the train’s schedule and book their tours, visit their website here.
THIS PACKAGE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE, PLEASE CALL OR MESSAGE US FOR AN ALTERNATIVE WAY TO RAFT AND RIDE THE DURANGO TRAIN IN ONE DAY!
Experience the best of Colorado in 1 & 1/2 days!
The day prior to or after you’ve enjoyed our popular Jeep/Train tour, which includes a Ghost Town jeep tour and a Cascade Canyon Express trip on the Durango Narrow Gauge, explore Durango’s sampler 1/2 day raft trip on Durango’s Animas River!
This package is great for ages 4-84, with Class I “moving water,” a few Class II “splashes” and one or more “wet and fun” Class III rapids (depending on water level). You will be treated to a different view of Durango while learning the fascinating history of the area. Guests 12 and up have the option to upgrade to inflatable kayaks on the Lower Animas River (when water levels allow). Don’t miss the highlight of your vacation in Durango and Silverton!

What to Wear & Bring
- Dress in layers for the jeep/train day as it can be 5-10 degrees cooler in the mountains.
- For all trips it is good to bring a water bottle, we don’t want you to get dehydrated!
- Wear quick drying clothes for rafting such as a swimsuit and nylon shorts in the summer. Wetsuits and wetsuit boots are recommended prior to mid-June, after Labor Day and on rainy days (we won’t cancel your fun when Mother Nature adds to it!).
Important Considerations
- Kids 4 and under can ride on your lap on the train portion if you want to save the money on their train ticket, but kids must be at least 4 to go on the rafting portion of the package.
- You must bring your own car seats for children who require them on the jeep trail tour, Mild to Wild does not provide any. The Colorado Car Seat Law states that children up to 8 years must be in an appropriate car seat/booster seat.
- Dark clothes are best on the train because of the soot, also sunglasses help to protect your eyes.
- We recommend the open air gondola on summer train trips.
- You can bring your own snacks for the train, but alcohol is not allowed.
- Age limits increase with high water levels and/or we vary the river section.
