3 - Rafting in Glenwood Springs

   19 km away

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 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. It's perfect for first-timers, families, and people who like experiencing life rather than Snapchatting it.
