Mike was an amazing guide and took us down an amazing stretch of river. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. You will get wet so leave anything you don’t want wet back at the car. Unplug a little and live in the moment for 2 hours with Glenwood Adventure Company.
Awesome!

You will get wet and the 2-21/2 hours is in the river so you need to take into account a safety talk, getting fitted for your life jacket, travel time to and from the drop off and unloading and loading the rafts. Allow at least 3 hours. But it is a great 3 hours!!!
