Events & Specialty Trips

June 29th – July 3rd

Our Family Friendly trips welcome all ages to come together for an unforgettable adventure deep within Utah’s pristine wildernesses. Desolation Canyon is one of the most sought-after rafting trips in the country, and is perfect for kids, grandparents and everyone in between for a multitude of reasons. There’s enough wildlife here to make a zoo embarrassed, including wild horses, big horned sheep, bald eagles, and much more. Also, the unapologetically large beaches make for exceptional camping and fun-having. Another notable detail (one we know you’re already thinking about) is that there are more than 60 rapid sections you can run in an inflatable kayak. Your family will be talking about the shenanigans you had on this trip for decades.

August 20th – 23rd

Can you imagine going into a mostly-unexplored river canyon in a wooden boat, filled predominantly with gun powder and flour for your meals? When John Wesley Powell and his crew did so 150 years ago, they couldn’t really imagine it either, given there was no telling what would be coming at them around each narrow river bend. On this trip, big kids can discover all that this forested, quartzite chasm has to offer like the 1869 expedition— but wayyy more comfortably! You won’t have to shoot your own dinner, or worry about caulking busted boats after running righteous rapid. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy Lodore’s exhilarating Class III whitewater, jaw-dropping scenery, and rich history through Dinosaur National Monument.

September 13th – 17th

This adventure is focused on giving guests the opportunity to become completely present in nature as we drift down the Green River through Desolation Canyon. The intention of bringing mindfulness into the journey is to open our hearts and expand our awareness in wonderfully wild places. The trip will be sprinkled with mindfulness practices throughout each day that include meditation, yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi, and more.

Durango’s Raft for Hope is returning this year Sunday July 24th, at 5 P.M in loving memory of Taylor Lau, a longtime river guide with Mild to Wild who we all cherished so much.

We will be working with Summit Church to raise money for suicide awareness, and the proceeds will go to Grief Center of SW Colorado Suicide Prevention and to private scholarships for counseling and addiction. Dinner will also be provided by Serious Texas BBQ.

Ticket includes the economy raft trip 29th street to Santa Rita park (approx. 1 hour)
