My friends and I recently camped with Glenwood Canyon Resort over the 2019 Labor day weekend and were eager to go white water rafting with the company on site, Defiance Rafting.
We chose the Double Shoshone/High Five Adventure as this is the best route for thrill seekers! Our group was partnered up with Scott, our guide, who was knowledgeable and gave us the experience we were looking for. Scott was hilarious and made sure that we were all comfortable.
He was quick to adjust our route on the rapids as we asked for a more wild ride all while ensuring it was safe enough to do so. The route will include multiple rapid formations including: the entrance exam, the wall, all day wave, tombstone, and man eater. (For an especially fun ride, ask Scott for option C!)
Defiance rafting also offers more affordable rates. I paid $71 for the 2.5 hour route as opposed to $115 that a nearby company charges for the same rapid route. For an additional fee, they do have photographers there that take photos of you as you go down the rapids! We split the $50 between our group of four and were all able to access the link.
I can't say enough good things about this company and can't wait do it again!

Thank you for taking the time and circling back with that feedback! You pretty well nailed how we would describe the Double Shoshone w/ High Five Upgrade. Scott's generally in the mood for a good time and it shows when he's out on the water. Not to mention he's a generally swell guy, too. We appreciate the feedback on the price point and photos as well; that's good beta. See you next round! Take care – Gregory
