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

Fun trip. River guide was awesome - knowledgeable, fun and friendly. Scenic trip was fun with some very small rapids- enough to make it fun, but very safe

Had a Blast with Demitra! This gave us enough quiet time on the river to observe this amazing canyon, but there were also enough moments of excitement, too! Demitra was great - full of information about the canyon and river and rafting and kept us entertained. Others commented that the view was so much better than we could see from the highway. I will definitely return next year to do the half-day whitewater.
