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.
City: Glenwood Springs

The entire float was wonderful and fun. Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, yet made sure that we stayed “safe and sound.”
