Glenwood Canyon Half-Day Raft Trip in Colorado

Overview
If we only had two to three hours to spend on the water and wanted show our friends or family what it's like to experience the thrill of Class III Colorado whitewater rafting and the beauty of Glenwood Canyon, this would be the trip we'd take them on. And if we only had two hours because everyone had plans after the trip, well, we'd probably cancel them so we could all go rafting.

It's perfect for first-timers, families, and people who like experiencing life rather than Snapchatting it.

We had a great experience with defiance rafting! The half day trip was perfect for new rafters to experience a few miles of rapids and then a nice long float. Our guide, Mike, was a local and shared a lot of great Glenwood facts. We appreciate the friendliness and organization of the company and will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful experience with Brad as our guide. It was a cloudy, yet beautiful day. We hit some awesome rapids, hot springs, and some rain. He was knowledgeable and inclusive. What a wonderful time we had as a large group (age range 7 to 71).
