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. Our guide, Brad, was funny and very attentive to us. Some in our group had been on several whitewater trips and for some it was their first time. Brad made sure everyone had a good time. It was a definite ā€œdo againā€

Everything about our experience was wonderful. The staff was careful to make sure our rafting trip was safe and fun. Our guide, Michael B., is very a skilled rafter and made our trip even more enjoyable by being personable and funny, and knowledgeable about the Canyon we were rafting. Thank you Defiance and Michael

Definantly a 5 star experience Highly competent guide on the water. Talley makes the boat dance through the rapids, and our paddles helped too. Check in, shuttle, outfitting with life jackets, helmets all went smooth as silk. And the scenery of Glenwood canyon is world class. Go for it, you WILL have a great time
