A magnificent towering canyon marks the start of the trip at the "Gates of Lodore". Situated at 5,375 feet, this trip is known as one of the most beautiful stretches of river anywhere. Fed by dam-controlled flows from Flaming Gorge Reservoir, the Green River through Lodore Canyon provides rafting throughout the summer.
The trip follows part of the route taken by Major John Wesley Powell on his epic 1869 exploration of this continent's last uncharted wilderness. Several challenging rapids lie hidden between the sheer cliffs with colorful names such as Hell's Half Mile, Disaster Falls, and S.O.B. In the calm stretches, wildlife abounds.
As the oar-powered rafts quietly float through the canyon, you may see deer, waterfowl, beavers, and desert big horn sheep.
