We opted for the more relaxed half-day trip without whitewater, which didn't require helmets but was still enjoyable with plenty of splashes.

The relaxing ride was fantastic. The views were breathtaking, and our guide Aiden was very supportive, highlighting various points of interest and assisting us in spotting wildlife.

Rafting with Defiance was an incredible experience. Jeremy, our guide, made the trip enjoyable and engaging with his extensive knowledge of the Glenwood Springs region. He also provided wonderful suggestions for other local attractions and services.
The staff at the garage were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Their understanding of the river conditions was outstanding. Our guide, Eric, effectively communicated safety measures and managed the raft with confidence.

This float on the river was perfect for families, featuring stunning scenery. We were offered an alternative float that was less suitable for families, but we preferred the simpler option. It included a nice stop at a very hot natural spring for a soak. They also take beautiful side pictures available for purchase, priced from $36 for one photo to $86 for all over 20. Though I found it a bit pricey, I was happy with the experience. The trip started at 10 am instead of the 9 am that was advertised, which meant we had to wait an hour outside the building.
The guides were exceptional and very knowledgeable. I would definitely do this again. It was a stunning trip down the river.
