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.

Did the half day trip. Defiance employees were great. Friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Enjoyed the rapids although they were a bit more calm than expected for our teenage group.

Hi, Nancy! Thanks for the feedback on your experience. We're at that funky water level where the typical highwater exciting stuff has mellowed a bit and the really exciting stuff remains off limits. It's always a challenge when the water level is between stages; fortunately, it's a temporary condition. That said, I'm glad to hear you and the teens still managed to have a great time out there. Come see us again when we're back on Shoshone and we'll make sure the thrills are had by all. Take care. Thanks again. And have an awesome summer! ā€“ Gregory

Defiance Rafting was perfect for our family. We were all fist timers and wanted to bring our 4-year old son along. They assured us heā€™d be fine, and he was. Our guide was so much fun. He was funny, answered questions from our 4-year old, and was so knowledgeable about rafting and the area. The trip was great for first timers. There were some fun rapids, but not too overwhelming. Plus the route they take is along a bald eagleā€™s nest. We saw two of them! Overall we had a great experience.
