One of the great things you will see on a Green River or Yampa River rafting trip is Native American Rock Art. This is always a highlight on our trips. A short hike or sometimes long hike from the river or camp with the leadership or the guide staff will take you to some very special sites. Rock art sites are precious and well protected in Dinosaur National Monument. This preservation has kept these areas fairly well intact for everyone to see and enjoy. A lot of this rock art has been here for hundreds to over a thousand years. The people who left this art did not leave us a written language so it is up to each individual to interpret what they see in their own way. A lot of the art was left by the Fremont people, some by the more recent Ute tribe and some by the older Paleo Indians. Who ever left they mark and art on the rock walls had something special and important to pass along to others. This is just one highlight you will have on a river rafting trip with us here at Dinosaur River Expeditions. Being the only locally owned and operated outfitter we know some secret spots the other outfitters won't be able to show you. They don't know about them. Call today and book your next adventure. 1-800-345-7238 or visit our website www.dinoadv.com for more information on all that we have to offer.
