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.

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.

This trip was very enjoyable. Friendly, knowledgeable guides. My sister, from Florida, had never rafted and was very comfortable.

I scheduled to go rafting for one of my Bachelorette Party activities, and Defiance did not disappoint. Their prices are unbeatable, and the guides are super fun and made us feel very safe! If you are looking to go white water rafting- book your trip with Defiance ASAP! It was a great experience. Special shout out to our Guide- Scott. You are so awesome!

Thank you for circling back and sharing your experience, Suzanna! It's awesome to hear you had a great time out there with Scott on our Scenic Canyon Half-Day. And it was a Bachelorette Party activity to boot! Congrats on the nuptials and thank you for allowing us to be part of the occasion. Take care and hopefully we get to see you again soon! Take care – Gregory

The location is both scenic and convenient with very short commutes to put-in and pull-out and yet phenomenally beautiful landscape. The equipment was flawlessly dependable. And the staff was not just friendly and capable but also patient. If they mind dealing with newbie flatlander tourists, they hid it extremely well.

Thank you for doubling back, Gabriel! Glad to hear you had a great time out there. And we were not hiding anything, we love taking fresh meat down the river! Take care and hopefully we get to see you again soon! – Gregory
