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

We had the most enthusiastic and exciting guide. Her name I believe was Demetrius. She was so knowledgeable and we felt safe in her hands. It was such a thrill. The scenery was amazing. Can't wait to come back again.

This trip exceeded our expectations, we had so much fun!!! We had Ben as our raft guide, he was awesome and very informative, right down to how we should proceed to Denver after the ride. He made us aware of the closure on 70, due to an accident/fire, and suggested another way to bypass the issue. Thank goodness he did. We made it to our final destination along a wonderful scenic route. We would suggest Defiance to anyone and everyone. Don’t miss it, you wont retreat it.
