Glenwood Springs

Welcome to Glenwood Springs

Glenwood Springs is a historic Colorado hot springs resort town at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers in the Rocky Mountains 160 miles west of Denver. Glenwood began life as Defiance, a rough frontier camp built around a railroad stop and the natural hot springs used by Native Americans since ancient times. Now, European visitors have been coming to the Glenwood Hot Springs Resort for over 130 years. It is the world’s largest hot springs pool and one of Colorado’s most iconic attractions. Outdoor sports like hiking, mountain biking, and whitewater rafting are popular in the area, and the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is the only mountain-top theme park in the U.S.

Absolute blast!!
Raft the Colorado River through Glenwood Springs – Half Day Adventure
G278OEsusane, Jul 2026
Absolute blast!!
I highly recommend this adventure when visiting Glenwood Springs. From start to finish a top notch experience. The equipment provided, the experienced guides, and the FUN! Four of us ranging from 10 years old to 68 years old. The most fun this 68 year old has had in a long time. Can't wait to go again. My granddaughters were a bit scared at the beginning, but loved every minute. The older one (11 yo) ended up jumping in at one point (never would have believed she would do this) but that's how comfortable they made us feel. Thanks for the experience Blue Sky and Hayden for being a great guide.

Great First Rafting Trip for Kids
Great first rafting trip for the kids! (Ages 12 and 6) A fun experience for the adults as well. Just enough rapids for some excitement but not too much to make it scary for the little ones. Everybody had the option of taking a swim and float down the cool waters. Anastasia was a great guide; friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure everyone was safe and had a blast. Would definitely recommend this activity and company.

Excellent Raft Trip
We had a fantastic day on the Roaring Fork River with the”Adventure Outdoors” Company! When we arrived at the meeting site the owner quickly accessed our group ( ages 10 to 76) and gave his professional opinion on what trip we should take. He was spot on! This trip offered some great rapids to keep every one excited but not so much that they were scared. The kids loved the trip with the enthusiastic guides, RC and Ryan. They both, were not only skilled and experienced rafters , but also quite entertaining . They had a wealth of knowledge about the area and their humor kept everyone entertained and smiling. It was obvious they both loved their jobs and the company that they worked for! This was by far the best raft trip I have experienced and a great first trip for our family! The whole experience was an A plus!

One thing everyone can appreciate is when an employee truly loves their job. E-Rock was hands down one of the best guides we have ever had on an excursion, you can tell he loves what he does and loves to educated people on what he loves. We did the tour with 2 kids ages 14 and 12 and both loved the experience. Even with the unfortunate haze and smoke in the area (completely out of anyone’s control) the grounds were still gorgeous and beautiful. This was the perfect way to end our Colorado adventure!

Epic time-great mix of adventure and float
Looking for a great family or buddy trip floating the Colorado River. This is it. We did the half day trip, Shoshone Rapids and it met our needs. Some adventurous rapids, some nice float time to enjoy the awesome Glenwood Canyon beauty and even a couple dips into the “brisk” (IYKYK) river.Riley was our guide. Super dude with great stories, good history of the canyon and super safe so your friends and family are taken care of.I’d highly recommend them and ask for Riley!

Mother/son rafting
Three moms took three 19 year old boys on this trip yesterday and loved it. BEANS WAS INCREDIBLE! We got the only female guide, and she was so friendly and strong. I was the only mom who hadn’t done whitewater rafting, and I was nervous. This trip was the perfect intro. If you’ve been before and want all day adventure, there are more extreme options. I enjoyed the physicality at the beginning and more chill paddling at the end. I can’t believe I had any concerns, now that I’ve done it. We’d definitely book again and request Beans. Go see her! #bemighty

Perfect excursion for a family with young kids who wants a true Colorado mountain experience. Beautiful landscape, the length and difficulty was perfect for a family with young kids. Our guide was AMAZING. She definitely made the experience what it was. Her name is Joe, and I’d recommend that any family with kids request her. She was very good with the kids.

Great time!
The 2 hour trail ride was fantastic! Our guide, Landon, did an amazing job helping us along the way and sharing fun stories and history about the ranch and a rea. The views of the ranch and canyon were beautiful. I was also pleased with the reminders and even a call the day before to check if we had questions before our ride. A great time - would definitely recommend 👍👍
