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.

We had such a great time! There were 4 other people on the raft with us and they were fun. Our guide, Demetra, was awesome! We didn’t go through big white water…just class 1 and 2 but she handled them very well. We saw some wildlife along the way including mule deer and sheep.
