About Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Tours
Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Tours has been leading outdoor adventures across the American Southwest for more than thirty years, with their Moab outpost on Kane Creek Boulevard serving as the launchpad for some of the region's most memorable river and off-road experiences. Founded in Durango, Colorado by Molly and Alex Mickel, the company grew from a single-booth operation into a multi-location adventure brand with bases in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona — but Moab remains the heart of their desert canyon programming.
From Moab, Mild to Wild runs whitewater rafting trips on the Colorado and Green Rivers ranging from mellow half-day floats through red-rock canyons to adrenaline-pumping multi-day expeditions through Cataract Canyon's Class III–IV rapids. Their off-road division offers guided Jeep tours into Moab's most iconic backcountry terrain, including Hell's Revenge, Fins and Things, and the Shafer Trail switchbacks high above the Colorado River. Combination raft-and-jeep packages are a popular option for visitors with limited time who want to experience both water and land adventures in a single day.
What distinguishes Mild to Wild from the crowd is their emphasis on interpretive guiding — every trip includes insights into the geology, history, and ecology of the Colorado Plateau, turning a fun outing into a genuine learning experience. Guides are certified in swift-water rescue and wilderness first aid, and the company maintains modern equipment with rigorous safety protocols. For visitors who want a trusted, long-established outfitter covering both river and trail adventures in Moab, Mild to Wild is a rock-solid choice.
