FAMILY RAFTING TRIP LODORE CANYON ON THE GREEN RIVER

Explore the Green River through the Gates of Lodore with other whitewater adventurous families. Children have opportunities to learn about Dinosaurs that inhabited the river banks long ago through our "Dinosaur Packs" (additional). Riverfront games and campfire talks have children in mind. All meals on the river are catered by your river guides (and have children's tastes in mind). Your river guides also lead side hikes and interpretive talks while on the river.

Your Green River adventure begins in the northwestern part of Colorado in Dinosaur National Monument. Here, the Green River has carved three spectacular gorges: Lodore Canyon, Whirlpool Canyon and Split Mountain Canyon. Starting at river level, the canyon walls of Lodore soar dramatically 2,500 feet high in just few short miles.

Over our Gates of Lodore journey, you will encounter 20 light to medium sized rapids, such as Disaster Falls and Hells Half Mile. The biggest rapids are rates as "advanced intermediate" or Class III. This means they are fun for both novice and experienced whitewater rafters, but by no means tame!

 

The 4-day adventure covers 44 miles on the Green River where brilliant red walls expose 1.5 billion years of
geological history. This area is all preserved in Dinosaur National Monument, one of the nation’s most pristine and least crowded National Parks. The tour is a complete convenient package which includes licensed professional guides, complete catered meals, and all necessary rafting equipment. No previous rafting experience is required.

This is a remote, pristine wilderness in the heart of Dinosaur National Monument, Utah. Since the canyon is road less, we bring all food and gear on the rafts to undeveloped camps each night. Adrift provides transportation from the meeting place to the start of the river trip, and then from Split Mountain back to the Adrift Adventures store at trips end. Professional guides and all boating related equipment are provided, including one watertight duffle bag per person to carry personal gear.

All meals from first day to last day lunch are included. No previous rafting experience is required. Minimum age is 7 years.

Our Gates of Lodore Green River Rafting trip departs daily May-September from our Adrift Adventures office in Jensen, Utah Near Dinosaur National Monument.
