Had a great day on the Arkansas river in Browns Canyon! Brendon was a great guide. Not only navigates the river, but great commentary! BTW, tell your mom you’re the best!!

Great experience with Mild to Wild Rafting! Staff was helpful, kind,humorous and knowledgeable. Went on a full day whitewater tour with Gavin, he kept us entertained and informed, and made us feel like VIPs. Would highly recommend!
