One Day Rafting Trip Utah Green 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.

High Water And The Yampa River

Colorado's mountains have had a great winter. The snowpack in many places is over 125%, some drainages are reaching 150% of normal snowpack. What does this snowpack mean to us and river rafting? It means great water for river rafting adventures. The current predictions for the Yampa River look really good for a fun high water season. My prediction is peak flows into the mid teens 14,000 to 16,000 CFS. CFS or cubic feet per second is the volume of water passing a single point at one point in time on the river. The higher the number the higher the flows of the river.
The Yampa River of Colorado is the last undammed tributary of the Colorado River system. This freeflowing characteristic makes it a unique river because of its unhibited flow of water. We will see water from mild to high and wild during the 2014 summer season.
The Yampa River is also one of the most popular rivers in the United States. It is the third hardest river trip permit to obtain for the private boating community. Because of this it is often a great idea to hire an outfitter, they have permits, the experience and know how to make a trip excellent.
If you are looking for a great high water river rafting adventure give us a call today 1-800-345-RAFT (7238) or visit our website www.dinoadv.com
