Adventure
While the Yampa River is noted for its whitewater, it also offers family-friendly calm stretches that meander through the pristine high-altitude landscape, with abundant wildlife and overnights at scenic campsites.
Travel through many layers of history on the Yampa. This beautiful river flows through the fossil-rich, Jurassic-era Dinosaur National Monument. Short hikes take you to ancient Native American sites such as Mantle Cave, utilized as a food storage site 1500 years ago, and marvel at renowned rock art panels in Jones Hole, Echo Park, and Island Park.

Be surrounded by amazing geologic features.

Float by the black desert varnish-striped Tiger Wall, or Mitten Park Fault where millions of years of rock layers fold and curve. See the memorable 1,000 foot Steamboat Rock where the aptly named Green River merges and then blends into the Yampa.
See the spot often credited with the birth of the modern American environmental movement. This pristine canyon system was once in danger of disappearing beneath the watery depths of a major reservoir. Throughout the 1950s, conservation groups fought against a proposed dam at Echo Park that would have forever drowned both Yampa and Lodore canyons
Public exposure to the area thru early commercial river rafting trips on the Green and Yampa rivers helped to inspire the movement that saved Dinosaur. Many of those who floated the rivers were forever motivated to partake in the struggle to preserve them for future generations. Their eventual success brought Dinosaur National Monument to the attention of the country and helped kick-start the nascent American environmental movement. We have the early river runners of Dinosaur National Monument to thank for the protection many of America's wildest places now enjoy!
Who knows what inspirations you may find in these same beautiful and remote canyons.
