Yampa River 4- or 5-Day Itinerary

Main | Itinerary | Photo Gallery | About the Region | Area Map

Yampa River expeditions depart from our headquarters in Vernal, Utah for the launch site at Deerlodge Park.  Driving time is approximately 1 hour.

Upon arrival at the river, you will meet your guides, board the rafts and begin your adventure.  There will be time for hiking, exploring, fishing or just relaxing.   In the evenings, you can sit around a campfire and listen to the stories of by-gone days.  At bedtime, the soothing sound of the flowing river gently lulls you to sleep. Camping each night is along the river banks in spacious camps.

The Yampa River joins the Green River at Echo Park, the site of the imposing Steamboat Rock.   You'll continue on the Green River through Whirlpool Canyon and, the last leg of the journey, Split Mountain Canyon with Moonshine, S.O.B., Schoolboy and Inglesby rapids to end your trip on a high note.  From this point, you will take a short bus ride back to our headquarters.

The total trip covers approximately 70 miles. On-river itinerary is determined by several factors, including length of trip, group preferences and camp proximity.
