Join us for a welcome reception and dinner in Vernal, Utah.

Meals included: Dinner

We’ll spend the morning in Dry Fork Canyon exploring one of the best-known collections of Fremont culture rock art.  In the afternoon, we’ll visit Dinosaur National Monument and see fossils of dinosaurs and other creatures that roamed the area nearly 150 million years ago.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

We’ll spend five days and four nights on the river.

River Tour Highlights

• Serviceberry Shelter – a partially excavated hunter-gatherer shelter.
• Mantle Cave – an immense vaulted sandstone alcove that contains Fremont culture storage cysts.
• Deluge Shelter – an Archaic period rock shelter with pictographs of anthropomorphic figures.

You’ll find breathtaking scenery and fascinating archaeology throughout the trip down the river.  You’ll have the chance to see a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, deer, and eagles.  You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to hike mild to moderate scenic trails, including one that follows the waters of Jones Hole and Ely Creek.  Spring runoff from the Rockies should provide a series of low to middle level rapids, which will be navigated by our expert rafting staff.  At night you’ll camp along the river and enjoy marvelous meals prepared in the great outdoors.

The trip is open to people in good health who enjoy the outdoors, camping, and a little white water fun.  The outfitter for the tour is Dinosaur River Expeditions, an established river company.
