What To Expect
Defiance Rafting
Your experience starts by meeting at the Defiance boathouse in Glenwood Springs. There, we will gear you up, talk about the trip, and introduce you to your river pro. Then we’ll shuttle up Glenwood 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.
