A magnificent towering canyon marks the start of the trip at the "Gates of Lodore" and follows one of the most beautiful stretches of river anywhere. Fed by dam-controlled flows from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, the Green River through Lodore Canyon provides rafting fun throughout the summer.
The trip follows part of the route taken in 1869 by a great pioneer, Major John Wesley Powell, during his epic exploration of this continent's last uncharted wilderness.
Several challenging rapids with colorful names such as "Hells Half Mile", "Disaster Falls", and "S.O.B.",
lie hidden between the sheer cliffs of Lodore.
In the calm stretches, wildlife abounds! As the oar-powered rafts quietly float through Lodore Canyon you may see deer,
water fowl, beaver, and desert big horn sheep. Plus, you will marvel at the
Indian rock art carvings, remarkable geologic formations, and
revel in the pristine, untouched, remote river setting.
We consider this trip to be a great inflatable kayaking adventure!
