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.

Had so much fun on this easy raft tour. Rob was our guide and he was great! We got a little wet but surprisingly, the water wasn’t too cold. Really enjoyed getting to see the hot springs too. Highly recommend!
