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 an unforgettable experience! I recommend it to any parent considering it. My 15, 13, and 12 year old children were thrilled from beginning to end. Upon arrival, the staff was helpful and pleasant with every aspect of getting ready. Taylor, our guide, was so warm, knowledgeable, and kindly took her time to put my youngest daughter at ease about going into the river. As a special needs child, she was nervous and hesitant about this whole activity, but Taylor took the time to reassure her, encourage her, and show her that it was going to be a wonderful experience. She is the reason we had such an awesome time. As a mother, I will forever be grateful for this. This was the highlight of our vacation here!!! And the views... well, absolutely mesmerizing!!!
