Scenic Canyon Half-Day Float in Glenwood Springs booking from $58.00

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.

What To Expect

Defiance Rafting

Your experience starts by meeting at the Defiance boathouse in No Name, CO in beautiful Glenwood Canyon (which is just 2 miles east of the community of Glenwood Springs).

You'll begin your scenic float right away as we navigate down the lower half of Glenwood Canyon. There will be occasional splashes and opportunities to jump in the water through lower Glenwood Canyon and into the community of Glenwood Springs. • Class I–II • Trip Length: 2 hours to 2 1/2 hours (dependent on river flow) • Departs daily @ 9:00 am; 1:00 pm; and 4:00 pm • Check-In is 45 minutes prior to departure • Requirements: Paddlers must weigh at least 30lbs.

I loved it! Even though it was freezing cold I’m glad we did it. You went longer miles and I appreciate the experience.

Thanks for coming out and braving the early season temps! It is a quieter and unique time of year. We hope to see you again in the future!

Awesome experience that's a must if traveling to Glenwood or surrounding areas. Our guide was Brad, he was super funny and personable. He made the trip fun on top of it being a one of a kind experience already. We went the first week of May, we were the only 2 on the raft besides the guide. The sun was out which helped warm you up from getting splashed with pretty cold water.

There is nothing like early season rafting, especially with Brad! That water can be chilly but it makes for a memorable experience. Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we appreciate it! Come see us again in the heat of the Summer. You can always request Brad!

My husband and I took a family vacation with our 8, 6, and 2 year old and wanted to check out the scenic float trip. From the time we got to Defiance Rafting to the time we left we had nothing short of an amazing experience! Everyone that worked their was friendly, funny, and personable. Not only did we get to enjoy our time on the water, but we got a fun history lesson as well. Thank you for creating a great family memory that we will never forget!
