Here at Dinosaur River Expeditions we take 100's of people a summer on guided adventures. Our most popular trips are the 4 and 5 day Green River Gates of Lodore trip and the Yampa River tour. For those who are unsure of a guided adventure or have limited time we offer daily rafting, hiking and mountain bike tours. There are several things we have learned over the years that will help make your trip a success. Here are five things to think about when choosing a river rafting trip.
#1 - Start your research early, reserve your trip in advance. Look for an outfitter who has a long history in the area you want to go rafting. We are Dinosaur National Monuments only locally owned and operated outfitter. We find that being the local gives us a huge edge up on offering a great vacation. Take a look at our websites about page this will give you a good over view of who we. We also suggest that you book your trip in advance. Our trips fill up quickly and you may not be able to get on a date that fits your vacation schedule.
#2 - Make your travel and hotel reservations early. In Vernal, Utah the hotels fill up fast during the summer. Sometimes getting a hotel room or campsie can be very difficult. We partner with several hotels in our area and can get you a discounted room for booking a raft trip with us.
#3 - Follow the suggested pack list, we have found that it will help make you comfortable on the trip. Don't forget the essentials sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, bug spray, camera, flashlight and last but not least rain gear. Quite often our guests question bringing rain gear, this is a nice item to have in case the weather turns ugly or the rapids make you cold. A decent set of rain pants and a jacket are nice insurance on being cold and uncomfortable.
#4 - Break in any new gear you may have purchased for the trip. It is not fun to wear new sandals and get blisters on the first day of your trip. Set up your new tent and be comfortable with how it sets up and takes down. Be familiar with any of your new gear and understand how it works. It is a bummer to get on the river and not have the right gear or you are unsure of how it works.
#5 - Have a great attitude and be ready for a wonderful adventure. This can be the vacation of a lifetime, one you will remember forever.
