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.
