Are you looking for an amazing whitewater rafting experience? Well, you found it! Dinosaur River Expeditions is family-owned and locally operated in Vernal, Utah. Our river guides are experienced and extremely knowledgeable. Our Utah whitewater rafting expeditions will take you along the breathtaking canyons of the Green River, through the Gates of Lodore, and along Colorado's mighty Yampa River. Whichever river rafting trip you choose, you'll experience the adventure of a lifetime.
Our two most popular adventures are on the Green River in northeastern Utah, where Flaming Gorge Reservoir feeds excellent trout water and Class II-III rapids through Gates of Lodore, and Colorado's free-flowing Yampa River, which joins the Green at Echo Park inside Dinosaur National Monument for a journey no other outfitter can match. Whether you're looking for a one-day Green River rafting trip out of Vernal, a multi-day Flaming Gorge expedition, or a full Yampa and Green River adventure through the canyons of Dinosaur National Monument, our guides handle the logistics — permits, gear, meals, and camp — so you can focus on the rapids and the scenery. As Vernal, Utah's only locally owned and operated whitewater rafting outfitter, we've been running these rivers for decades and know every rapid, campsite, and side-canyon hike along the way.
Vernal, Utah is rich in history — from the early Mormon pioneers to the vast exploration for oil and natural gas that continues today. Within an hour of downtown Vernal, you'll find hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, and sightseeing that you won't find anywhere else in Utah.
