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 have been on a couple rafting trips, but this was the BEST! The staff was on a mission to make sure everyone had a great time. The guide was funny and very knowledgeable about the area. We shared the raft with a family of 3. The guide engaged the kids and the adults!!!!

Thank you for circling back, Mary! It's awesome to hear that you were able to connect with your river pro and were able to get what you wanted out of your experience. The ability to authentically connect with each guest is something every member of the Defiance crew strives to do. Thanks for hanging out with us! Take care ā€“ Gregory

Thanks for joining us on our last weekend, Rochymagma! Ben's great. And while it's definitely late-season water flow; the more languid pace and fall colors make for a pretty great time out on the water. We look forward to seeing you early next season for some rowdier times! Until then . . . take care! ā€“ Gregory

What a GREAT experience! From the time I spoke with Heather weeks before, to the day we arrived was 5 stars across the board. We were a group of six on the 9am trip. Air and water temp was hovering in the mid-60's; a little brisk to get wet that early in the day, but we soon found out how refreshing it was (for most of us). Tanner was our guide and we couldn't have been in better hands. We loved the whole experience and without hesitation highly recommend you try them out.

Excellent! Thanks for circling back with that feedback. Yeah, late-season rafting can get a little chilly (especially in the AM) but man-oh-man is it an awesome time to get out there. Tanner's about as solid as they come, too. Glad you and the crew entrusted us with your rafting experience! Take care and hopefully, we get to see you again soon! ā€“ Gregory
