The Yampa River is the last free-flowing river in the entire Colorado River drainage and was featured in National Geographic's "Wild and Scenic Rivers" book. In the spring, the melting snow from the Rocky Mountains swells the narrow gorge creating unbridled rapids. The Yampa River is a guide favorite and is entirely within Dinosaur National Monument.

You'll float by desert big horn sheep as they drink at the river's edge. Eagles and hawks soar overhead coasting on the thermals. The scenery is dramatic and quite varied as 2000 feet of white sandstone walls grow quickly around you. There's time to explore some of the side canyons and see ancient Native American artwork.
