Q&A
A: This trip is perfect for kids as young as 6! The guides are great with children, and they make sure everyone feels safe and included. The rapids are mild, so it's a great way for younger ones to get their feet wet without being too intense. Just make sure they can comfortably wear a life jacket!
A: Weather can sometimes play a role, but they usually run the trips unless conditions are unsafe. If it does get canceled, they’ll help you reschedule for another day. It's a good idea to have a backup plan just in case, like exploring downtown Glenwood Springs or the hot springs!
A: You’ll want to wear something that can get wet! Quick-dry clothing is best, and definitely wear water shoes or sandals that strap on. Swimsuits are great too, and don’t forget sunscreen! The guides usually have extra dry bags if you need to store anything like a camera.

Thinking about gifting the Glenwood Springs Raft Trip for my family!
I’m looking to gift my family the 2-Hours Glenwood Springs Short and Mild Raft Trip. Sounds like a fun way to spend time together! My kids are 8 and 10, so I think they’ll love the mild rapids. Plus, the chance to see wildlife is awesome! Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on what to pack or prepare for the kids?
Just got back from the Glenwood Springs Family Raft Trip!
We just did the Glenwood Springs short family raft trip and it was AMAZING. Our kids, aged 6 and 9, had a blast! The guides were super friendly and made the whole experience fun. The scenery was gorgeous, and we even saw some deer along the banks. Totally recommend it for families looking for a little adventure without too much intensity!
