First of all, the staff at Defiance are the kind of people that make you feel like you are a part of the family. They are kind, fun, down-to-earth and superb at what they do. My hubby was pretty nervous about us rafting as the river was high and moving fast. I'm not the strongest swimmer and was nervous as well but our guide and the entire team were just fantastic! When I come back to Glenwood Springs I think I'm ready to attempt some class 3 adventures with this company. Shout out to our guide Jesse who still owes me some Dairy Queen😁
