Double Shoshone Half-Day Raft Trip in Glenwood Springs booking from $78.00

Double Shoshone Half-Day Raft Trip

Overview

At Defiance Rafting, we expect our guides and their passengers to display perfect paddling form when rafting through the Class III–IV Shoshone Rapids. When they do, which is mostly all the time, we reward their excellence by letting them raft it again. When they don't, we punish them by making them redo it, which, oddly enough, they never seem too upset about.

We arrived for the rafting trip through Glenwood canyon and were immediately greeted by friendly faces and instructions on how to get geared up! We signed wavers and were quickly on our way to borrowing booties and suiting up in our helmets and life vests! We were taken by bus up the river to the starting point and our guides talked us through every step of the way! Ross took care of us and our experience was incredible! He carefully guided us through class 1-3 rapids and made sure we all had an unforgettable experience! He was also full of knowledge on the area and recommended several awesome hikes and adventures to go on for the remainder of our trip. I have been whitewater rafting several times in my life and this one tops them all. Not only because of the fantastic staff, but the views from the canyon were just stunning! Thanks defiance rafting for being so Rad!!

Heck yeah, Logan! Thanks for sharing. It's great to hear you had a blast out there on our Double Shoshone Half-Day with Ross. The views are pretty fantastic and we agree the water isn't too bad either. We love sharing what we do with Defiance's guests. And we're glad to have made that connection. The fact that we rank so high compared to your previous river experiences is both a point of pride and serves as a humble reminder to never take these connections for granted. So thank you for sharing. Take care and we hope to see you again before too long! – Gregory

It was my boyfriends first time going rafting and we both had a blast! Our guide Russ was a lot of fun and he gave us some great recommendations on other things to do around the area. I felt incredibly safe during my trip because the guides all worked together so well with their jokes and knowledge of the river. We would definitely come back again!

First time experience for me, and 3rd for my boyfriend. We're grateful to guide Brad for the safety and what-to-expect talk beforehand, but even with that in mind, it was a scary moment when both of us ended up in the water at Maneater Rapids! Because we'd been properly prepped (and dressed for safety) and with Brad's calm demeanor, determination and strength, we made it back to the boat and he hauled us aboard (no easy feat!!). I was a bit banged up, so we were grateful to forego the 2nd pass on Shoshone's rapids, instead doing the calmer float the rest of the way back to GCR. The staff at Defiance, before and after the trip, were very easy going and flexible, even coming up with an option when it became clear that we wouldn't have enough manpower to carry a larger raft. After our excursion, staff offered first aid, and also took the time to follow up later that day and the next to make sure we were ok. The photos available for purchase at the end of the ride were a bit pricey, but soooo worth being able to see what it looked like from shore!! We're still talking about what an amazing experience this was, how grateful we are that Brad got us back in the boat alive, and laughing at the photo of the 2 upside down feet sticking out of the river next to the raft! Thank you, Brad!!

Thank you so much for circling back, Elisa. You and your boyfriend were troopers. You'd be hardpressed to find anyone saying that swimming through a rapid equates to a good time; especially when it's your first time! You were great. It's awesome to hear you enjoyed the back two-thirds of the trip through Glenwood Canyon. And you're absolutely spot-on with Brad. Thanks for hanging with us. Come see us for another round and we'll see if we can stick the landing this time ;-) Take care! – Gregory
