Scenic Canyon Half-Day Float

Overview
Feel free to leave the worries at home. This trip has just enough splash to remind you that you’re on a river but leaves out the intensity of the Shoshone rapids. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to kick-back and take in all that Glenwood Canyon has to offer. Hop out and do some swimming or even dip your toes in the hot springs that make their way into the Colorado River as you approach Glenwood Springs.

How lucky to see a baby bear, plus eagles and big horn sheep! Glenwood Canyon definitely came through with the wildlife sightings! Thanks for coming white water rafting with us.

Scuba Steve was great! We had a wonderful day, water levels were high and we had an all adult group so he was a little more aggressive In his route did to make it more than just a “float”. would for sure go back

We're so happy to hear the Scuba was able to tailor your trip so you got a little more splash! Make sure to call and request him as a guide if you decide to visit us again!
