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.

This was our first float trip. We had great companions and a lot of fun. It was led by Jay. He was extremely knowledgable about the river and the geology of the canyon. We would do this again in a hearbeat!

Our guide, Tally, made this trip so much fun! She was informative and enjoyed what she was doing. We have already given friends the company name and suggested they request Tally.
