Green River expeditions depart from our headquarters in Vernal, Utah. We transport you to the “Gates of Lodore”, the northernmost border of Dinosaur National Monument. Driving time is approximately 2½ hours.

Upon arrival at the river, you will meet your guides, board the rafts and begin your adventure. There will be time for hiking, exploring, fishing or just relaxing. In the evenings, you can sit around a campfire and listen to the stories of bygone days. At bedtime, the soothing sound of the flowing river gently lulls you to sleep.

Approximately 20 miles from the launch point at the head of Lodore Canyon, the Yampa River joins the Green River at Echo Park, the site of the imposing Steamboat Rock. You’ll continue on the Green River through Whirlpool Canyon and, the last leg of the journey, Split Mountain Canyon with Moonshine, S.O.B., Schoolboy and Inglesby rapids to end your trip on a high note. From this point, you will take a short bus ride back to our headquarters.

The total trip covers approximately 47 miles. On-river itinerary is determined by several factors, including length of trip, group preferences and camp proximity.
