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.

Lots of fun zip-lining across the river and finishing off with an intense obstacle course ...Alex, Blake, Sam & Shelby were very cool and kept it fun... then it was all about the rafting! We had an amazing time with the crew at Defiance rafting. Our guide was Nate and he was fantastic! Definitely worth it!!!!

Glad to hear your experience with our No Name Special hit its mark, Loretta! We think it's a solid way to spend the day with family. And the crew over at the ropes course matches our own; good people all around. Thanks for spending your afternoon with us! ā€“ Gregory

The rafting trip was so much fun! Josh made it very entertaining for my family and I. He was very knowledgeable about the area in history, ecology, and even geology! Everyone said it was the best part of our vacation in Colorado. We were thirty minutes late (not fun rushing to catch the safety lessons, the rafting transport bus, and getting ready. I do NOT recommend being late. Be on time!) BUT everyone who worked there was very understanding and helpful for us. I cannot believe how much they went out of their way and how kind they were to make it a safe and fun experience. Thanks to Heather very much for answering all my tourist questions and helping us out, too!

This trip was a lot of fun, I went with my boyfriend and we had a blast! I have done a few rafting trips before but it was his first time. It may have been a little mild for us, so next time we will book a more intense trip, but the rapids we did hit were great, our guide was excellent and knowledgeable and you cant beat the scenery!
