Summer Vacation: Rafting + Jeep Trail Tour in Colorado

"Family Adventures" are a niche market in the travel industry that provides families with peak outdoor experiences with all details handled. Typically, family adventures are high-end and include lodging at top lodges and resorts.

The Rafting & Jeep Trail Tours offered by the Mild to Wild company look to be an interesting option at affordable pricing. Guests experience "5-star camping" plus an eclectic mix of rafting plus jeep trail trips in Southwest Colorado, Eastern Utah and Central Arizona, featuring ghost towns, wildflowers, waterfalls...

Check out Mild to Wild's trip choices. Note that guests are meant to provide their own sleeping bags, tent, and some other gear (though rentals are also available.) Mild to Wild, meanwhile, provides cots or thick foam to sleep on, sleeping bag liner, dining ensemble, snacks, meals, and trained Guides (not to mention private toilet facilities.)
