With summer coming to a close, school back in session and fall just around the corner it is a perfect time to start thinking about your 2014 summer vacation. Now is the time to reserve your space on one of our most popular four or five day UTAH RIVER RAFTING TRIPS. The YAMPA RIVER is the last undamed tributary of the COLORADO RIVER system. This incredible 71 mile stretch of river flows through the heart of Dinosaur National Monument wandering through some of the Monuments most incredible scenery. Scenery is not the only thing that the Yampa River has to offer it also has some incredible WHITE WATER RAPIDS. The most famous of which is Warm Springs a formidable rapid that thrills everyone who rafts through its incredible waves.
Our other really popular trip is the Green River Gates of Lodore.  This section begins in Browns Park Colorado and winds its way for 44 miles to its take out point at Split Mountain campground. The Gates of Lodore has some of the most awe inspiring red rock canyon walls of any river in North America. The splended scenery makes way for great camps with big sandy beaches, fun swimming holes and exciting rapids like Hells Half Mile and Disaster Falls.
Both trips can be done over four or five days and are perfect for anyone looking for a RIVER RAFTING trip in UTAH or COLORADO.

Grand Canyon Dories on the Yampa River

Dories maybe one of the most romantic boats found on the rivers of the American west. Dories found there fame in the 1950's and 1960's with multiday river trips in the Grand Canyon. These beautiful, colorful boats are a pleasure to look at as they float along the river canyons. The boatmen handle these crafts with grace, ease and treat them like a priceless treasure. Riding on a dory through the rolling rapids of the river is also quite a thrill. The rigid hullls of these boats send them soaring high above the crests of breaking waves, putting you up in the air like a fantastic roller coaster ride.
Today you do not only find dories on the Grand Canyon section of the COLORADO RIVER but its now very famous tributary the YAMPA RIVER in DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT. The YAMPA RIVER is now famous for being the last undammed tributary of the Colorado River giving it a unique wild nature that no other river in the continental U.S. has. At DINOSAUR RIVER EXPEDITIONS we offer a unique early season YAMPA RIVER trip with dories giving you the opportunity to not only see this amazing river at its finest but from the bow of these beautiful boats.
Dories maybe a focus but inflatable kayaks and rafts also make this trip so much fun. Take a trip on the Yampa River it should be on your bucket list of must see and do vacations. Yampa River trips book up quickly I would start making plans as early as possible to reserve your space on these highly valued RIVER RAFTING ADVENTURES. The incredible WHITEWATER, amazing scenery and fanatstic guides will astound you with the great plesures found along this river.

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.
