A group of 8 ladies/friends did a hut to hut trip from 9/ - 9/29/25. We booked a year in advance…read moreas the hut system is very popular and you might not get the dates you want if you have a large group and want specific dates. We had an easy time booking. Everyone must sign the liability waiver prior to the trip. They are very clear in communication throughout. Once you are booked they send all the information including "hikers bible" out to you, maps and other information. They do not stock the hiker huts. They are clean. They have pots/pans/dishes etc. All of that is explained on the website and in the information that they send you. You are expected to bring your own food. They also supply a sleeping bag for you during specific months. Of course you could choose to bring your own as well. There are wood stoves in all of the huts. during summer/fall months you are supposed to go look for dry twigs, sticks and wood out on the property. There are springs or water sources near every hut. There are compostable toilets near each hut as well. Huts are about 4 to 9 miles apart. The only real complain we had about the huts were that the doors squeak and the screen doors slam. If you are in a group of 8 in the hut and you have folks waking up to go the bathroom in teh middle of the night it can get a little loud. They are VERY clear that you will meet their driver for the shuttle at a certain location in ouray at a specific time on the first day of your trip. There is not an extra charge for this. They drive you about 50 minutes to the start of the trip. The driver will answer any of your questions you have as well while you are on your drive. However, any questions that were asked by our group over the year we had before our trip were answered in a timely manner. They provided maps and gpx maps that you could download into your phone and also a detailed description of the route in the hikers bible as well. We had no difficulty with route finding. There is not really a lot of other hiking to do once you get to your hut for the day so just slow down and take it all in. The fall colors were stunning. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our time on the trail and in the huts. Would highly recommend.

We had an incredible experience in July 2025, hiking the gorgeous Sneffels Travers San Juan Huts,…read morehut to hut system! The huts were cozy, clean, and perfectly located in the stunning Colorado backcountry. Everything was thoughtfully set up, making the trip both adventurous and comfortable. The scenery was unforgettable, and the logistics were seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to hike without needing to carry all your gear. You hike Sneffels Traverse in the San Juan Mountain's backcountry, they maintain trails and ensure the huts are clean, well-supplied and ready for you! Their customer service and attention to detail unsurpassed!

In Telluride, Colorado for a long weekend and decided to check out the white water rafting. The…read morewinter snowfall was great and there is still lots of snow on the peaks. My wife had heard that Mild to Wild rafting took great care of their clients. Last year at this time, we were wading up the San Miguel river / stream and fly fishing. Shallow water, tranquil pools and great fishing made it a different weekend. When we booked this, I thought it must be a mistake as this stream did not seem strong enough for rafting and narrow in width. What a difference a year makes. The river was full, fierce with heavy water and good class 3 rapids for the next 1 1/2 hour. Big rocks, fast water, big snags and quick currents were the norm today. One had better stay in the boat, as it would troublesome swimming in 42 degree water. Alyssia, our guide was fabulous and serious about following her instructions. She navigated the rocks, snags and fast water. She maneuvered our boat well. For the next 1 1/2 hours, we had 3-4 foot swells and worked the entire trip. We have rafted many rivers and this was one of our shorter trips but a 5/5 on adventure. For a great adventure, beautiful scenery and a gorgeous day, raft with Mild to Wild. You will have a fun filled and adventurous memory for life.

Plenty of fun runs, and a decent amount of high speed lifts. The layout is a bit funky with some solid traversing and long runouts but overall still a good spot. We stayed in the village. Not much food that I know of in the village so we are down in the town of Durango. Had free days from a season pass from a partner resort so used those to my advantage. Great views and a pretty drive! In the words of the terminator, "I'll be back."

The lift tickets were around $70, and for having a epic value pass, I was almost reluctant to come here but it is worth every dollar. They have a separate area of the mountain where it looks like they have the ski and snowboard lessons, as well as many new beginners falling down the mountain in this area. This was nice because I didn't have to maneuver around beginners and worry about someone running into me like I do with many of the other mountains because we do not share the same runs. This convenience would have already made me rate this resort with 5 starts, but the cheery on top was the huge, open runs and the gorgeous rolling hills this mountain had. It was not crowded, and I just had a very enjoyable experience. The mountain was powdery in every run we took and as a snowboarder, I had one of my best days riding at this resort. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here on a day they get a lot of snow, and I hope to come back soon.

We are so grateful for Sarah, who made our wine tasting tour such a success!

Sarah is a kind soul, and the kind of person you can't wait to hire again. Already looking forward to our next tour! Thank you, Sarah!

She picked three places.  The first stop was so full of fun and the winemaker, Justin, took the time to explain about the Grand Valley and the winemaking process.  He was informative and kind and we had a great time.  I've done wine tours before, but no one spent time with us and hosted us as well as this.  Well worth the price.  Our second and third stops were nice as well, with options to choose between iced cocktails on a hot day or the selected wine flights.   Sarah herself was a delight and handled our brand of humor in stride.  At the end of the tour we were sad to say goodbye and were so glad that she was our host.

I kayak quite a bit, but mainly on flat water, so the guide (whose name I sadly cannot remember) gave me a lot of paddling hints and taught me a lot about reading water conditions and how to approach water features. I will definitely be putting her advice into practice at home. My husband, who is less experienced, also had a wonderful time. I could not recommend this experience more!

He was knowledgeable, funny, patient, and especially great with our kids, which made the whole experience enjoyable for our entire group, from our young children all the way to my parents. The tour took us to Bridal Veil Falls, the tallest waterfall in Colorado, and then to an incredible overlook with one of the most breathtaking views of Telluride. We never would have experienced these places the same way on our own. Riding in the restored 1970s Austrian military 6x6 Pinzgauer was an adventure all by itself. The truck handled the terrain unbelievably well, and the ride struck the perfect balance of excitement without ever feeling unsafe. It was just enough adrenaline for the kids while still being comfortable for my parents. If you're visiting Telluride, I can't recommend Dave's Mountain Tours enough. It was fun, scenic, family-friendly, and absolutely worth it. Ask for Grant if you can!!
