I took my family (two kids in high school) on a 4 day, 3 night trip through Gates of Lodore to Split Mountain (July 2024) and I cannot say enough... read more about Dinosaur River Exp. The guides were experts on and off the river and took the time/attention to make sure we had the experience of a lifetime! Great scenery, great food and great company, they spoiled us in every way. There is definitely no better way to see Dinosaur National Monument and DRE is the way to go!

We did a 1 day rafting trip on 5/26 to Flaming Gorge and had a great time! Our guides were knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the local history... read more and geology. I felt safe and even though the rapids were class 1 and 2, our guide made sure we had a blast getting splashed

Our experience on the 5 day Yampa river trip was great. The guides ensured that our experiences on the water, in camp, and on hikes were the best. The scenery... read more was better than expected, it exceeded expectations each day of the trip. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a varied menu each day that was exceptional for camping food. Our thanks to Kass (owner) and guides Peyton, Rain, Lauren, Luke and Marcus for going the extra mile to provide a memorable trip.
