Family Fun and Dinosaur Adventures

A river rafting adventure is a great way to spend time with your family. First of all you lose cell phone signal so the office isn't calling you and your kids cannot text their friends non-stop. Second who doesn't want to float beautiful canyons, raft wild rapids and sit around a campfire enjoying each others company. One of the best areas for a family river rafting trip is DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT. The GREEN RIVER and YAMPA RIVER flow through the heart of this spectacular National Park providing you with the best views possible.

 The YAMPA RIVER is the Colorado river systems last undammed tributary. Making this a top choice for river runners looking for a truly wild river experience. The Yampa River has some great WHITEWATER, Warm Springs rapid can be one of the biggest and funnest rapids in the American west. Some people consider this to be one of the 10 best drops in North America. Rapids are not the only thing that make this trip great there is incredible scenery that will amaze you day after day.

 GREEN RIVER GATES OF LODORE is most peoples all around favorite section of river to float. Flaming Gorge Dam provides a consistent level of water to the Green River all year long giving this stretch of river a chance to thrill you with all of its wonders May through September. This trip has great rapids, wonderful hikes, sandy beach camps and again scenery that will leave you in awe.

Most Scenic WHITEWATER DAILY in UTAH!

There are so many river rafting options to choose from. You start your search on the internet and one day rafting trips come up all over the world. After guiding river rafting vacations for the last 20 years all over the Western United States I can easily say the most scenic and enjoyable day trip is located right outside Vernal, Utah. The GREEN RIVER below Flaming Gorge Dam is a phenomenal trip whether you are a beginner river rafter or have previous experience. The put in point is at the base of the dam, what an incredible view of the giant wall of concrete. From here crystal clear water pours out of the bottom of the lake. This clear water makes the Green River a perfect trout river. You will see hundreds of rainbow trout and brown trout swimming right below the surface.
The scenery is what draws most visitors to this area. The red sandstone cliffs tower over the river in some places reaching up a 1000 feet above the canyon bottom. These sheer canyon walls are covered in beautiful Ponderosa Pine  trees, home to some amazing wildlife. You have a good chance of seeing big horn sheep, mule deer, elk maybe even a moose while floating this section of river. There are not many WHITE WATER DAILY RAFT TRIPS where you get this kind of wildlife showing there heads along the rivers edge.
The white water on this section is class two on the scale of one to six. Six being the highest. These class two rapids provide plenty of thrills with fun waves, challenging rock sections that require some skill to navigate and add a little spice to the day. One of the funnest ways to see paddle this section is in your own inflatable kayak. The inflatable kayak puts you a little closer to the action and gives you the up close and personal approach to tackling the rapids.
If this type of thrill is not on your plate hop on a guided raft. On the guided raft you can either paddle or be oared down the river. This is another great way to see the Green River and you get some great first hand knowledge from the super experienced river guides. The guides will share with you their personal knowledge of the area and all that you are looking at.
When choosing any WHITEWATER RIVER RAFTING ADVENTURE find a reputable outfitter. Doing research ahead of arrival is very important, you want a company with experience and guides that are well trained. I would look for the locally owned outfitter, they almost always have the best staff for the local sections of river. You will find a lot of big companies that have little satellite offices. I would make these big companies second or third on your list. They typically do not have the experience or knowledge of the area that makes for a spectacular day on the river.
For a trip on the GREEN RIVER I would talk to the only LOCAL OUTFITTER IN THE VERNAL, UTAH area DINOSAUR RIVER EXPEDITIONS. It is a family owned and operated company with the most experience in the area for river rafting trips on the GREEN RIVER and YAMPA RIVER. There number is 1-800-345-7238 and website is www.dinoadv.com. You will not be disappointed with a DAILY WHITE WATER RAFTING TRIP ON THE GREEN RIVER IN UTAH.
