Great family trip! - First white water trip for four of the five if us. Had an absolute great time! The guides were great, locally knowledgeable, and very entertaining! The weather was hot, and the water was lower than it's peak, but we still had a blast. Would absolutely recommend for a good intro!

- Did the half day rafting trip in duckies. Charlie was our guide - he was great. The duckies are fun and a more adventurous trip when the water flow isn't very high. Second year doing this trip with them and will be back

Super fun! - We went on the half day Roaring Fork rafting trip and Becca was our guide. It was tons of fun! She was a great guide for our raft. We had a family from CA in the same boat with little kids and she interacted really well with them. The company was great to work with from the time I called with some questions to see which river would be good for us and they all were professional the day of. They made it fun and easy. Gave a great local hamburger place rec for lunch too (Vicco's Charcoalburger drive in). I would highly recommend Adventure Outdoors, we are going to use them for a horse back trip in a few weeks as well.

Excellent company and a very fun day - This is our third rafting trip with Glenwood Adventure Co. We keep coming back because they do an excellent job. Our guide today was Michael - he was experienced, personable and made the ride enjoyable for all of us. Our 3 yr old and 5 yr old grandchildren had a blast and can’t wait to go back again.

A great adventure. - Booked this for my grandparent getaway trip with my granddaughter, age 16 and never been rafting. She loved it and so did I. The tour guides were wonderful. Definitely recommend this for families of all ages.

Great Roaring Fork Rafting - Perfect white water experience on the Roaring Fork River. Well run from start to finish. They have all the equipment you need and the guides are all fun young people. Your guide can direct you to make the ride wild or mild. You will get a bit wet but that’s part of the fun. Scenery is awesome. Highly recommend. Our guide Brooks (aka Hollywood) was fantastic!
