Yampa River Rafting 5 Day Trip

The Yampa River section of Dinosaur National Monument is one of the most rare stretches of wilderness left in the Colorado Plateau. A five day trip on the Yampa River is the best way to explore the alluring side canyons and archaeological sites between its thrilling whitewater runs. 

With 72 miles to cover, this trip allows for a more relaxed pace with usually 3 days spent in the Yampa River canyon, and 2 on the Green River section. Each day brings a new exciting rapid section, scenic side hike, and opportunity to explore gems around your campsite. 

The most notable off-river sites on this trip include Signature Cave, Harding Hole overlook, Mantle’s Cave, Echo Park, and Jones Hole trail. The length of these trips usually allows you to check most of these excursions off the list, while still having enough time to enjoy a longer evening in camp. 

A Yampa River trip proves to be undeniably memorable and favorite among the river community, with seldom seen scenery, exceptional camping, amazing meals, stunning night skies, and ever-changing whitewater waiting to be discovered. It’s just about everything you could want and then some for a wilderness river trip out West.

Yampa River 5-day trips start at $1299.
