Dolores River - Ponderosa/Slickrock/Hanging Flume/Gateway Canyons
A raft trip on the Dolores River offers more unbroken miles of wilderness river scenery and whitewater rafting thrills than any river trip in the lower 48 states. This is one of America's best rafting runs and ranks only behind the "Grand Canyon" of the Colorado and "Middle Fork" of the Salmon as a classic paddling experience. The Dolores River is at its most runnable state in early spring run (mid-April thru mid-June) for whitewater rafting trips.
The eight-day trip covers Ponderosa Gorge, Slickrock Canyon and Hanging Flume. The ten-day trip also includes Gateway Canyon.
