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.

Jakob did an awesome job getting us down the river. He was a joy to talk to. We saw a bear with her cubs, deer, and a long-horned sheep. It was a great day!

Awesome trip and great group running Defiance Rafting. Our Guide was Demetra and she was very knowledgeable of the river, the area history and extremely fun. I would highly recommend this trip.
