Half Day Roaring Fork Rafting
Overview
The perfect adventure for families, beginner rafters, or anyone interested in the natural history of the valley!
Inclusions
- Professional Whitewater Raft Guide
- Rafting Equipment - self bailing rafts, lifejackets, and paddles
- Transportation to and from the river
What to expect
Enjoy a perfect mix of calm water and whitewater. The float from Carbondale to Glenwood Springs offers incredible views of 13, 000 ft. Mount Sopris, interesting geology, possible sightings of bald eagles and other wildlife, and fun class II/III whitewater.
This Class II-III paddle provides a thrill or two—like the infamous cemetery rapid—but there’s little chance of bouncing out of your raft. (And if you do, it’s usually nothing more than a refreshing dunk and no-big-deal hoist back into the raft.) Meander through gentle Class II and low Class III rapids, and calm, relaxing pools. Lounge on the boats or swim in peaceful areas as you wind through the Roaring fork Valley in Colorado's high country.
Stop At:
• Roaring Fork River, Colorado

Had a fantastic time on the Roaring Forks half day rafting trip!! Our guide, Josh, did a great job of keeping us entertained and teaching us about the surrounding spectacular scenery. Josh was an experienced river guide who helped to make our trip not so scary for the beginners but exciting enough for those of us who had rafted before. In fact everyone at Glenwood Adventures was so friendly and helpful to my group we would love to come back and do it again.I went on the afternoon rafting trip with 3 other people. We had a great time. The staff here is really nice. They’re excited about the job, care about your safety and experience, and make it really fun. Our guides, Abby and Moose, were super fun. We had a great time!

She was amazing and made our trip memorable. Congrats on your graduation!

Great guides, great river, great experience. I was originally booked to go on a float trip and when I got there, the other people on the trip had canceled so the only excursion available was a medium level rapid trip. I was in a boat with the guide, Maggie and three great guys. We had a ball. Loved it.River conditions were moderate not what many would consider whitewater rafting. But a fun experience regardless. This would be an excellent choice for a family with young kids. Friendly and humorous staff.
