Zach Butler helps prepare for the coming season at Mild to Wild Rafting & Jeep Trail Tours. Alex Mickel, co-owner of Mild to Wild, said trips on the Animas River from 29th street to Dallabetta Park will begin at the end of the month. The recent snow and cold temperatures delayed runoff, he said. Last year, the river was already running high in April. “We’re in a lot better situation now than we were last year,” he said.
