Hubby and I are in our late 60s. Chose the higher level rapids excursion. We had the best time. Michael guided us through the white waters with ease after detailed safety instructions before heading out. He was a wealth of info pointing out wildlife, special formations and areas of interest along the way. You'll definitely get wet which made it all the more fun. We'd do it again in a moment!
Great trip. Excellent...

Great day on the river. Only a few class 3’s due to late in the season, but still very fun and our guide, Michael, was fantastic.
Great adventure

Excellent ! We had kids from age 8 to 13 on this trip. Everyone had a great time! Our guide, Jack, was wonderful ! He took photos of our family, stopped to let us swim along the way, and kept us entertained with bits of information and fun stories! Glenwood canyon is one of the most beautiful canyons in the country. I would highly recommend experiencing it while rafting down the Colorado River with Glenwood Adventure CO.

Great way to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday! Glenwood Adventures made the rafting trip easy to book and the electronic communication was fantastic. When we arrived at the rafting company we received a warm welcome and were immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and the equipment (helmets, life vests and booties). The team were focused on safety and educated us with humor. Elaine, our guide, was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, personable, and made our trip down the Colorado memorable and fun. I highly recommend Glenwood Adventure Company!
Beautiful adventure!
