Description
![]() Yampa River Specialists |
Raft trips float the river through Dinosaur National Monument, passing by mighty sandstone formations such as Tiger Wall and preserved Native American dwellings and rock art. Boaters will often be distracted from the scenery, however, by thrilling whitewater passages, among which are the infamous Warm Springs Rapids. Most of the river, however, is made up of long, slow segments that allow rafters time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
A typical trip on the Yampa lasts 4 days, beginning from Deerlodge Park at the east end of Dinosaur National Monument. Trips end either just after the Yampa joins the Green, or continue farther down the Green into northeast Utah.
