The Gates of Lodore, located in Dinosaur National Monument, has all the elements of a classic river trip: great hikes, exciting whitewater, beautiful beaches and colorful history. The river is narrow, fast paced and there are rapids throughout the day. The scenery is a combination of Rocky Mountain forest drifting down into the rugged beauty of the dessert. Wildlife includes deer, bighorn sheep, eagles, hawks, river otters, and trout around every bend.
We purposely travel slowly, about 10-15 miles a day. There is ample time to explore the canyons, fish and take in the surrounding nature and its wildlife.
