What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: 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 Shoshone where we will put-in on the Colorado River. You'll find action right away as we navigate down the Class III-IV Shoshone rapids. We'll follow that up with 45-minutes of scenic canyon float with occasional splashes and opportunities to jump in the water through lower Glenwood Canyon before arriving back at Defiance HQ.

The guides are amazing and made our family experience SO fun! They talked so highly of the owners and cracked jokes the entire time. I feel like we got a free comedy show out of it! Our boys are 13 and 9 and will remember this trip for the rest of their lives!! #Jeramy&Brad

Jackie was fun to have as a guide for a rookie. We had a blaze. Th e kids want to go again.. Hope to go back soon.Jeremy was a fantastic guide. He was funny and kept us entertained. More importantly, he kept us safe. We booked a private tour and had 4 adults and 5 kids in our raft. Definitely a day full of memories. I also felt the covid protocols in place were sufficient. Thank you Jeremy and Defiance!

Tallie was an excellent guide who gave clear instructions and made us all at ease as well as making it fun, but she also gave us loads of interesting info on the way down. My 6yo joined for the more sedate part of the river and really enjoyed the ride.
