One Day Rafting Trip Utah Green River

Rafting on Utah's Green River

Daily River Rafting On Utah's Green River

Utah has excellent river rafting opportunities throughout the state. The best river rafting is based out of Vernal, Utah on the world famous Green River below the Flaming Gorge Dam. This section of river has great class 2 and 3 rapids, incredible scenery, crystal clear water and abundant wildlife. We are the only locally owned and operated outfitter in Vernal, Utah offering trips since 1979. The other outfitters are based in areas far away from the region. Why go rafting with the big corporations when you can go with the local expert? I know who I choose when traveling, the local expert.

The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is most often called Section A or Red Canyon. It is a 7 mile float with exciting rapids most of the way. The most popular rapids are Mother In Law, Bridge Rapid and Dripping Springs. The other rapids are just as fun and offer something for everyone.

The river is world renowned for it's blue ribbon trout fishing. There are approximately 1000 trout per mile. It is great for the kids, they can watch over the edge of the raft and see fish as you raft down the river.

We offer a fantastic deli lunch mid day. Typically on a beautiful sandy beach where you can take a swim or do a little sun bathing.

There are a lot of wildlife viewing options. Mule deer, bighorn sheep, occasionally moose or elk can be seen on the drive to the river and along the river banks. A lot of birds can be seen, osprey, bald eagles, and a wide variety of ducks.

Inflatable Kayak Utah's Green River One Day Rafting Trip

We take inflatable kayaks on most of our one day rafting trips. This is a really exciting way to experience the river. You get to paddle a single kayak or a double and be right up close to the action. On all of our trips we provide a guided raft where you can paddle or ride along and let the guide do the work. We are the only outfitter in the area that offer options besides paddle rafts.

Call today and book an adventure on what will be one of the best summers of river rafting to be had.

Mountain Biking Vernal, Utah

Mountain Biking Vernal Utah

If you like, love or enjoy mountain biking Vernal, Utah is a little known destination you must experience. The local mountain biking community has built a 100 plus miles of incredible single track trails that rival anything in Utah or Colorado. The area is often compared to Moab except there are no crowds you will have the trail all to yourself.

The most popular riding area is McCoy Flats west of town. At the McCoy Flats trailhead you have several options from beginner trails to expert loops. The two most common rides are Milk and Cookies a great beginner/intermediate trail or Retail Sale a intermediate to advanced trail. Both are loops that can be combined with other trails to make them longer if you feel up for it. One thing to keep in mind is the time of year and tempature. Mid June through Mid August the day time tempatures can be quite hot. I would recomend planning your ride early in the day or early evening to have the best tempature. Plus the sunrise and sunsets are not bad either.

Two other riding areas that get a lot of attention are Dry Fork Canyon and Red Fleet Recreation area. Both offer more great single track and an uncrowded riding experience. The Flume trail up Dry Fork Canyon is a unique experience and incredible ride. The Flume is an out and back trail, slight grade up hill for as many miles as you would like to ride up to 15 miles if you are willing. The scenery is beautiful, aspen and pine trees line the trail engulfed by giant sandstone cliffs. This ride also has a lot of wildlife, don't be suprised to see mule deer, moose, elk and a ton of birds and small mamals.

We offer daily mountain bike tours departing from Vernal, Utah. Our guide staff loves the trails, the area and will provide you with an unforgettable experience. We work with the local bike shop Altitude Cycle for all of the bike rental needs. There expert mechanics keep the bikes in tip top shape.

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.
