Can’t say enough good things about M2W!! Our guide was awesome, he was friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Scenery on Browns canyon was beautiful. We were here late in the year so water was low by the time we went, but he navigated us well. We are definitely coming back next year! Thanks Micah and good luck with all you do!

Coolest guides!! Our guide’s nickname was Bugs- she had such cool info about history, wildlife, and the present, and managed everyone amazingly, even during conversations between strangers from very different walks of life. We were all friends by the end of the 4 hours! Such a fun, relaxing, beautiful rafting trip!

Tim paid close attention to our conversation on the way to the trail from Durango to Silverton Colorado and used what he learned about us to create the perfect off-roading experience. The route was exciting, scenic, and perfectly suited to our interests—a personal touch we truly appreciated. Even the snacks arrived at exactly the right moment! Tim made us feel comfortable, cared for, and completely immersed in the adventure. It was a memorable experience from start to finish, and we highly recommend both Tim and Mild to Wild!
