This White Water Adventure In Utah Is An Outdoor Lover’s Dream

There are endless places to explore in the Beehive State, but some trips are once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Here's a trip that takes you through a gorgeous canyon near Vernal, and you'll never forget the memories you make here!

Your whitewater adventure takes place at Dinosaur National Monument, where you'll travel from Utah, into Colorado and through Lodore Canyon before entering Utah again. You'll meet up at the company's office in Vernal, and take a three-hour van ride to the put-in location.

This trip takes you through some absolutely stunning scenery along the Green River. You'll encounter towering cliffs, see petroglyphs in the canyon walls, and even catch glimpses of wildlife along the way.

In some spots, the Green River is calm and peaceful. You'll enjoy a leisurely paddle, and can even jump out of the raft and splash in the river.

But get ready, because the class three and four rapids are just around the corner...

...hold on tight for the ride of your life! Don't worry - experienced guides will help you navigate through the rapids and you'll have a blast.

You'll see distinctive layers of rock that date back from 1.1 billion to 20 million years old along this journey.

The trip from the put-in at Brown's Park National Wildlife Refuge to the take-out at Split Mountain take a total of four days. You'll dine and camp alongside the river, and all your meals are included in the price of your trip.

During your time ashore, you might enjoy joining your river guides for some short, scenic hikes.

You'll also have an opportunity to go fishing at Jones Hole, a trout stream that's teeming with fish.

You'll make new friends, and create memories that last a lifetime on this adventure.

This whitewater adventure is appropriate for kids ages eight and older.
