HORRIFIC. RUINED our trip. We had a 2:30 rafting trip booked for the family. A guide came in at…read more2:30 and said she thought they might be an hour late. They never showed. We waited for 3 hours . Sitting in the parking lot!!! The only reason we waited was the family DROVE from Texas just for a trip to go white water rafting this weekend. This company works out of a spa. The receptionist was nice, but no help. She called the owner multiple times and he never answered. She said "if it was me I would have left hours ago and I'd be way more pissed and mean than y'all even are." Shes right. She wasn't even able to grant a refund or do anything for us. No one reached out, no one even reached out to say they were running late. No apology, no explanation. We're driving back having wasted an entire day plus says of driving on this. Beyond a scam.

I was part of a small group that did a full day trip with Glenwood Canyon Rafting last Saturday…read more Although I'd been canoeing in whitewater rivers many times I hadn't ever been rafting, not sure why it just hadn't worked out. After arriving in the morning we were outfitted with PFD's and helmets, then given a good talk about safety. Next we jumped on a bus headed up Glenwood Canyon to the Shoshone exit, about 10 miles up river from where we started. By far, the best part of the day was the first half hour or so. Lots of action right from the jump, and lots of me wandering why in the hell I hadn't done this before! There was a good deal of paddling to do in that first part, but it was way more fun than effort. Since we only had 5 in our group we were able to go out on the 14 footer instead of one of the bigger 16 foot rafts like the others on our bus. This let us go through a couple things they couldn't, and overall offered a little more exciting ride. After the first bit it was mostly a float trip with only a few spots for paddling. This allowed our great guide Otto to regale us with tales about the river, the area around it, and the people that work on it. Along with a few other choice stories that you'll have to get from him sometime, if you're lucky enough to get him as your guide too. After 10 miles on the river we arrived back to the boathouse and had lunch, which comes with the full day trip. It was WAY better than anyone in our group thought it would be. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and pulled pork with all the fixin's. Water and lemonade were included but if you wanted a pop or a beer they had them available for purchase inside. After lunch it was back on the river for a very chill 7 miles of mostly floating. The only wrinkle we hit was some fairly hard rainfall, which did soak us pretty good but didn't dampen our experience one bit.

Definitely a fan. Everyone at GCR was friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide, Otto, was way cool -…read moretotally engaging and fun. We did the full day trip - lunch was awesome and even though I accidentally hijacked our guide's lemonade he let me back in the boat :) It wasn't too "rapid-y" when we went, but it was August and toward the end of the season. There were still some class IIIs that were pretty good. Everyone had a great time and our one first-time rafter felt super safe. I'd recommend these guys for sure.

This is a worth while stop if you are traveling through the area. It was a scenic drive from I-70…read moreinto the park. I was traveling with my husband and relatives. Note: I detracted one star because all the picnic tables for day visitors have been removed to discourage that activity. The only tables in the park are for the camp sites. We pulled into an empty site, since we did not see tables elsewhere, to have a quick lunch. We got a talking to from one of the park employees that it was not permitted. We were nearly done with lunch so we finished quickly and removed ourselves, making sure the area was as we found it. We then parked up at the trailhead parking. It is a pleasant walk to the base of the falls. Then we headed up the stairs that take you behind the falls as well as to some caves. My husband and his brother did the hike up and around to the top. My sister-in-law and I found a nice shaded bench to enjoy the views while we waited for them to return. It was an overall good experience. I would go back.

Right from the moment we pulled into the parking lot, the sound of rushing water filled the air,…read moreand it didn't take long to find out why. The centerpiece of the park is this stunning trio of waterfalls--three streams of water pouring side by side over bright limestone cliffs, surrounded by the kind of lush greenery that feels almost tropical. It was like walking into a Colorado rainforest. Mist from the falls cooled the air, and everything around them felt alive--ferns, moss, chirping birds, and the occasional chipmunk darting across the path. The trails were surprisingly well maintained and easy to navigate. We started with the paved path that led right up to the base of the falls--perfect for just soaking in the view, and even wheelchair accessible. Then we took the Coyote Trail, which loops up around and behind the falls. That's where things got even more fun. The trail winds past a handful of small limestone caves, some of which you can crawl into and explore. One of them opened up into a surprisingly big cavern--we hadn't brought flashlights, but our phones did the trick, and the kids loved it. It felt like discovering secret chambers in a fantasy story. When we made it to the top of the falls, the view was totally worth the mild climb. You could look down and see all three cascades in full, framed by trees and cliffs. And with the mist rising in the sunlight, it felt absolutely magical--like something out of a painting. What I loved most was how much this park offered in such a compact space. Waterfalls, caves, trails, wildlife, creeks, picnic spots--everything felt close and accessible, but never crowded or rushed. It was peaceful, beautiful, and so well kept. Honestly, it's one of the best hidden gems I've stumbled upon in Colorado.

The trail is very clear, it's basically stairs going up for the 1.3 miles - 8 bridges total. I wouldn't go on a weekend or holiday or really any time other than off times - because even then, it was busy and hard to navigate around groups with such a narrow trail. There is a sprouting rock trail to the left of the hanging lake with a small trail leading to another waterfall coming straight out of the mountain. Overall, you can see why it is so busy - oh also, you have to have a parking reservation so make sure you sign up ahead
