Bill Dvorak and Browns Canyon National Monument Victory Cont’d

We’re still just so thrilled about Browns Canyon becoming the newest National Monument in the United States. It really is a proud moment and we’re still jumping up and down and shouting this wonderful news from the rooftops…and our blogs! For our fearless leader, Bill Dvorak, this is truly a personal victory on many levels, and it makes all of the years (and years and years) of hard work worthwhile.

Rafting through the West’s most iconic landscapes

Dvorak Expeditions has long been rafting down the Arkansas River, showing our outdoor adventurers the rugged beauty of Colorado’s Browns Canyon, with its diverse wildlife and world renowned trout fishing. And now that this is officially a National Monument, we are ensured that we can continue to show off this iconic landscape for generations to come. For Bill Dvorak (and the rest of the Dvorak family), this is what it is all about! And being present along with our fellow Coloradans during the ceremony making Browns Canyon a National Monument was a proud day indeed.

“It took a lot of work by many people over more than two decades to get to this point and we’re grateful that the president responded to the overwhelming support here in Colorado and across the country for a national monument. Browns Canyon provides important fish and wildlife habitat and some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. It’s a vital part of the area economy and a gem that deserves to be conserved.” Bill Dvorak, National Wildlife Federation and renowned outdoor guide and river outfitter for Dvorak Expeditions
