What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Defiance Rafting, Glenwood Springs, CO
Your experience starts by meeting at the Defiance boathouse in No Name, CO in beautiful Glenwood Canyon (which is just 2 miles east of the community of Glenwood Springs). There, we will gear you up, talk about the trip, and introduce you to your river pro. Then we'll shuttle up the canyon to Grizzly Creek where we will put-in on the Colorado River. You'll begin your scenic float right away as we navigate down the lower half of Glenwood Canyon. There will be occasional splashes and opportunities to jump in the water through lower Glenwood Canyon and into the community of Glenwood Springs.

My husband and I took a family vacation with our 8, 6, and 2 year old and wanted to check out the scenic float trip. From the time we got to Defiance Rafting to the time we left we had nothing short of an amazing experience! Everyone that worked their was friendly, funny, and personable. Not only did we get to enjoy our time on the water, but we got a fun history lesson as well. Thank you for creating a great family memory that we will never forget!The Guides make it fun and informative. This Rafting Company is not only dedicated to making sure your experience is fun, but also they are passionate about the river and environment. I'd book with Defiant Rafting again.

The scenery was spectacular, and the surprise mini-rapids along the way were lots of fun.
