One day river rafting in Utah

UTAH GUIDED SCENIC RIVER RAFTING TRIP http://dinoriverexp.blogspot.com/2014/08/utah-guided-scenic-river-rafting-trip.html

Rock Art and River Rafting

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.

Inflatable Kayak on the GREEN RIVER

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.

Greatest summer vacation!

The wonders of nature never cease to amaze travelers from all around the globe. One of the best ways to experience these wonders is a WHITE WATER RIVER RAFTING trip. My favorites are two of UTAH AND COLORADO'S premier river trips. The GREEN RIVER and YAMPA RIVER'S flow through Dinosaur National Monument winding through a geologic wonderland. Dinosaur Monument first became famous for the amazing wall of bones. An incredible place to see dinosaur fossils as they have laid for millions of years, left intact for us to view and enjoy today.
During the 1800's explorers and mountain men traveled the rivers through today's Dinosaur National Monument looking for routes to California, fur trapping and mapping the region.
In the early 1900's river travelers began floating these rivers for pleasure and excitment. In the 1930's commercial river rafting trips began happening along the COLORADO RIVER system. These early trips lead to today's booming tourism based river rafting vacations.
Take the time to relax on a four or five day RIVER RAFTING VACATION with DINOSAUR RIVER EXPEDITIONS. The regions only locally owned and operated outfitter, their knowledge, passion and skill will provide you an incredible experience you won't soon forget.
