Gates of lodore, Green river

Meeting location: Vernal, Utah

Meeting time:  8AM, Morning of your trip


Return location:  Vernal, Utah

Return time: approximately 4PM, Last day of your trip


From the meeting location of Vernal, Utah, we will transport you by shuttle to the river put-in at the Gates of Lodore Campground in Dinosaur National Monument.  You'll meet your River Guides and River Trip Leader for an orientation talk, fitting of protective gear, and a quick repack of your belongings into our outfitter drybags.   We'll tell you about our campsites in the monument, where to find essentials, and the best things to enjoy along our route.  Your launch on the Green River immediately enters the first of a series of picturesque canyons, calm water, and then a stretch of rock garden rapids.  Depending on our first campsite location, you'll see other outfitters or private rafting groups setting up camp as we make our way to our own, where your guides will give you a tutorial of how to set up your sleep kit, where to find essentials, and will prepare food for the group.   Before evening-end, whether spent in a short hike, conversation, reading, or private meditation, you will have a chance to experience dark sky stargazing within Dinosaur National Monument...
