Glenwood Canyon Half-Day Raft Trip

A group of people wearing life jackets and helmets enjoying a white-water rafting adventure on a river surrounded by green trees and rocky mountains under a clear blue sky.

$79/person

If we had a couple of hours to spend on the river and wanted to show our friends or family what it's like to experience the thrill of Class III whitewater and the beauty of Glenwood Canyon, we would take them on this trip. And no worries if rapids aren’t your jam. With an additional boat ramp just below the rapids, you can opt out of the rapids and still make a half-day of it.

Departs Twice Daily, June through August @ noon & 4 pm

Includes:

  • Life jacket, helmet, complimentary use of splash gear

  • Transportation

  • Optional run through the Class III Shoshone Rapids
