If you’re a thrill-seeker with a love for rugged landscapes and adrenaline-pumping adventures, rafting through the Gates of Lodore on the Green River is an experience that should be at the top of your bucket list. This awe-inspiring stretch of river, nestled in Dinosaur National Monument in northwest Colorado, offers a perfect blend of heart-pounding rapids and breathtaking scenery.

 

The Gates of Lodore is a narrow and dramatic canyon where the Green River rushes through towering sandstone cliffs, creating a breathtaking natural gateway. The imposing rock formations, sculpted by millions of years of geological forces, provide a dramatic backdrop for your white-water adventure.

Our guides have interpretive training. They’ve developed great outdoor educational and environmentally sensitive activities and games. These activities and games incorporate camping, outdoor safety, basic first aid, history, geology, hydrology, wildlife, plant life and, of course, river running skills.

 

Hiking, water games and building sandcastles provide quality interaction. Our guides take adults and children on educational and fun outings where everyone can interact with nature. The Gates of Lodore is also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Keep an eye out for bighorn sheep, mule deer, and a variety of bird species, including eagles and peregrine falcons. The diverse ecosystem along the riverbanks provides ample opportunities for wildlife sightings.
