A worthwhile experience! Bring the kids! - This was my second Half Day trip with WWR LLC. Was so impressed with the scenery on my first trip that I had to make another one. Morgan was our guide again, and she proved to be highly spirited, extremely informative, and most entertaining x-)). You may even get to see a train or two on Union Pacific's Glenwood Springs Subdivision (which parallels the river for most of the trip). I purchased one of their waterproof floating pouches for my phone so that I could take photos of the unforgettable scenery. I recommend you do the same. Otherwise, you risk sacrificing it to the Colorado River. The only downside was the photo packages. When I was there, I was informed that you could either buy the package of around sixty digital photos for $60, or a single photo for $38. If I were running the show, I'd offer a few more options than just those two for the customers. Other than that, the experience was totally worth it. Looking forward to going again sometime!

This trip set the tone for my entire vacation here! Highly recommended. - This was my first time on a rafting trip. I chose to go on their Half-Day Trip on the Colorado River. Morgan was our guide, and she was perfectly suited for this type of business. The weather was perfect, the water level just right (for me anyway), and the scenery of Glenwood Canyon was awe inspiring. We even got to see Amtrak's California Zephyr roll by on UP's Glenwood Springs Subdivision (which parallels the river for most of the trip). The rafting trip was perfect. It had just the right balance of rapids (up to Class III) and gentle cruising along the Colorado River. Enjoyed it so much I went a second time the following week. Highly recommended!

Wonderful afternoon! - Really fun trip! Well organized. Water was low (end of the season), so the rapids were only class 3 or lower, so a little tamer trip than what we have done in the past. Main rapids were right in the beginning, and the rest of the trip was mostly floating downstream, with occasional class 2 or 1 rapids mixed in. Opportunities to float in the water, which was fun. Stunning scenery, cheerful and fun guide (Giggles), wonderful afternoon!

The best time! - We had the best time for our first family trip white water rafting! Our girls (7 and 8y) loved it! It was the perfect amount of thrill and relaxation. Our guide Moss was great! Highly recommend doing this while in Glenwood springs.

Super fun experience!!! - This was the best part of our trip in Colorado. My wife and I had the greatest fun and at the end of the rafting experience we were able to purchase beautiful pictures taken of us by their photographer at a very reasonable price. Can’t wait to do it again!!!

Excellent trip - Excellent trip for myself and three boys. Noah was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly and helped all of us as it was our first time. My boys were 7, 10, and 16 so I was a little nervous but Noah made it a smooth trip.

Rafting trip - Britt our guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the area and Colorado in general. Friendly and engaging. We were so happy he was our guide. Didn't give a 5 star only due to water - flow was low and calm. 2nd part of trip was a bit tame.
