If we only had two to three hours to spend on the water and wanted show our friends or family what it's like to experience the thrill of Class III (Class IV at higher water) Colorado whitewater rafting and the beauty of Glenwood Canyon, this would be the trip we'd take them on. And if we only had two hours because everyone had plans after the trip, well, we'd probably cancel them so we could all go rafting. At lower water levels it's perfect for first-timers, families, and people who like experiencing life rather than Snapchatting it. At higher water levels, typically late-Spring thru early-Summer, this experience is best for adrenaline junkies and experienced paddlers in good physical condition and without pre-existing medical conditions.

Q&A

Q: Is this suitable for kids? What’s the age limit?

A: Yes, this experience is great for kids! Guests must be at least 6 years old to participate, which makes it perfect for family outings. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a bit more supervision and encouragement, especially if they’re nervous about the water.

Q: What should we wear for this rafting trip?

A: Definitely dress for the weather! They provide wetsuits and splash jackets, which are helpful, but I’d recommend wearing a swimsuit underneath. Water shoes or sandals with a strap are best since you don’t want them floating away. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat!

Q: How do we handle rescheduling if the weather is bad?

A: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, Defiance Rafting is pretty flexible! They usually allow you to reschedule for free, but it’s good to give them a call as soon as you know you might need to change your plans. They’ll work with you to find a new date that suits everyone.
