About Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Tours Durango
Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Tours has been one of the San Juan region's most trusted adventure outfitters for over 30 years, operating a busy Durango hub on Camino del Rio just minutes from downtown. They specialize in whitewater rafting on the Animas River — the stretch that runs directly through the heart of Durango — as well as longer expeditions on the Upper Animas, Piedra River, and the iconic Dolores River. Whether guests want a mellow family float or a Class IV adrenaline run, Mild to Wild has a trip that fits.
Beyond rafting, the company runs guided Jeep tours into the high country above Silverton, including trips over Engineer Pass, Cinnamon Pass, and the Alpine Loop — some of the most spectacular 4WD roads in Colorado. They also offer inflatable kayak trips, stand-up paddleboard rentals, and combination packages that bundle a morning raft trip with an afternoon Jeep excursion. All rafting trips include wetsuits, splash jackets, and PFDs, and guides hold Wilderness First Responder certifications.
Mild to Wild's Durango operation stands out for its depth of local knowledge and range of trip options. Their guides have collectively logged tens of thousands of river miles on San Juan waterways, and the company's safety record is exemplary. For visitors who want to experience both the rivers and the rugged mountain passes of southwestern Colorado in a single trip, Mild to Wild is the go-to outfitter.
