YAMPA RIVER
Yampa River Whitewater Rafting
The last undammed tributary of the Colorado River System, the free-flowing Yampa River is a gem. Beginning in Deer Lodge Colorado, our Yampa River whitewater rafting trips take you for an amazing 72-mile journey. Along the way, you’ll experience astounding sandstone cliffs, thrilling Colorado whitewater, incredible campsites, and so much more. The Yampa River is a great family white water river rafting trip, group trip or perfect for the solo traveler.
Your Yampa River trip in Dinosaur National Monument with Dinosaur River Expeditions includes fun rafting and inflatable kayaking through spectacular scenery and exciting Colorado whitewater. Our guides will lead hikes to some of the finest ancient Native American sites in Dinosaur National Monument, where you’ll see 700-year-old petroglyphs, early pioneer sites, and the most amazing vistas of western canyons found anywhere.
Camping along the shore of Colorado’s Yampa River in the heart of Dinosaur National Monument is unbelievable — the views alone will leave you speechless. Your rafting trip guides will prepare remarkable meals — they’ll leave no appetite unsatisfied. Dutch ovens will steam with fresh, nutritious, dining such as homemade Peach Cobbler and delicious Lasagna.
The views and food are not the only thing that make time in camp special — your adventure guides specialize in camp entertainment. They may surprise you with an impromptu skit, a fun rafting-trip game, or great stories of river trips from the past.
