AAM's Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Trail Tours

1 Day Lower Piedra River

Priced from $105 to $196.56

Departs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday.

The Piedra's Lower Box holds some of the biggest drops we run on any river. The gradient of the river increases from an average of 53 feet per mile to 100 feet per mile in the heart of the Lower Box. This incredible pristine wilderness is unsurpassed for undisturbed wilderness boating and river rafting. The Lower Box is a pool drop river with short calm pools after the Class III wet and fun rapids, and Class IV and IV+ big drop rapids (or V violent rapid depending on the water level). Your heart will pump in the 15ft stair step drops (5 foot, followed by 4 foot, followed by a 6 foot drop). Then relax and soak in the riverside hot springs as you enjoy a deli style lunch. The Piedra River is one of the most highly restricted and regulated rivers in Colorado.

1 Day Upper Animas Raft Trip - Needleton

Priced from $235 to $249.69

Discover one of the toughest commercially run trips in the U.S. at high water (early-mid June), the Upper Animas River. This spectacular and invigorating whitewater adventure has continuous class III wet and fun rapids with intermittent class IV big drop and class V violent rapids. Fourteen thousand-foot peaks rise from the banks of the river as the river drops at a rate of 85 feet per mile, creating continuous sections of whitewater that leave your arms shaking from nonstop paddling. Cascades and waterfalls pour into the river from the stunning Weminuche Wilderness. Unique to Mild to Wild on our one-day trips we run the Needleton section of river, which is generally a friendlier section of river than the section above Needleton. Must be 16 or over.

1 Day Upper Piedra River

Priced from $105 to $147.69

Upper Box: Launch days are Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday

Paddling through 1000-foot deep canyons, alpine rain forests, heart pounding whitewater and then stopping at soothing hot springs, you'll experience a true Rocky Mountain jewel in the Piedra River. We run three trips on the Piedra River: the Upper Box (an intermediate adventure), the Lower Box (an advanced adventure) and the Two Day which runs the Upper Box on the first day and the Lower Box on the second day after a night of catered camping in a beautiful alpine wilderness.

2 Day Piedra River

Priced from $105 to $451.56

2 Day Departs Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Raft both the Upper and Lower boxes of the Piedra! The Piedra River starts as a small creek with many technical Class II splashes. As your journey continues, the river is joined by more tributaries, which adds significant water volume to the river. As a pool drop river, the Piedra contains fast paced fun, but is also marked by small pools of calmer water allowing you to take in the exquisite jagged rock walls, pristine alpine forest, and wildlife! Paddle through 1000 ft canyons, alpine rain forests, and heart pounding whitewater. Like the Upper Box of the Piedra River, the Lower Box is a pool drop river with short calm pools after the Class III wet and fun rapids, and Class IV and IV+ big drop rapids (or V violent rapid depending on the water level). Your heart will pump in the 15ft stair step drops (5 foot, followed by 4 foot, followed by a 6 foot drop). Then relax and soak in the riverside hot springs as you enjoy a deli style lunch. Combining both boxes cannot be matched in beauty, excitement and adventure!

Priced from $67 to $71.19

Step-up the level of adventure on the Animas River in an Adventure Boat, for ages 10 and up (age minimums may change with water level). Adventure boats are smaller boats with smaller tubes. They can be run with oars for a smaller guide to customer ratio/more of a private boat. They also can be run as a paddle boat so all work as a team to get down river, which can provide more adventure since the guide has less control. Either case, guide to customer ratio maximum is 5 to 1 (unless group wants 6). Great trip for those that want more adventure, but don't want to do inflatable kayaks. There is less of a chance of swimming in these boats than in inflatable kayaks.
