River trips through the canyons of Dinosaur National Monument are a unique once-in-a-lifetime experience. For thirty years, Eagle Outdoor Sports, Inc. has operated guided interpretive whitewater river trips within Dinosaur National Monument. We are proud of our history operating in one of the few remaining inaccessible and wild landscapes within the United States— as well as our stewardship while showing the world as you have never seen it before.
Booking is done by phone to ensure you are on the trip you want, with the equipment you need. We offer eight multi-day launches per year on permitted river sections within the monument— Yampa River and Green River’s Gates of Lodore. Call Eagle Outdoor Sports, Inc. at (385) 244-0021 for booking.
Simply, the interior of Dinosaur National Monument is accessible by traversing whitewater rapids, and within the monument are protected archaeological sites and biological ecosystems.
Fur trappers, explorers, and early boaters set the stage for whitewater boating on Dinosaur National Monument's wild rivers. To this day, thousands of boaters set their sights on these two wild rivers.
But Dinosaur National Monument holds pristine, intact and irreplaceable resources which reveal an 11,000 year record of continuous human occupation, cultural development, and exploration from Paleo-Indian culture to the present. It holds delicate desert river landscapes and one of the oldest exposed geological records on the earth.
To facilitate guest access to the monument, protect the resources within the monument and create opportunities to understand what is here requires a breadth of knowledge and training in the fields of archaeology, anthropology, natural history, geology, astronomy and biology; and very literally years of training to be a skilled whitewater rafting guide. We don’t disturb the incredible things here, but you will leave with a unique once-in-a-lifetime experience and on which we hope you will continue building your future adventures.
Our trips are for solo adventurers, or those traveling with small to medium sized groups. And our trips are for those who want a diverse educational experience related specifically to the monument.
