Explore outstanding scenery, adventure and history with Dvorak Expeditions

The Green River runs mostly flat, so this is a great place for kids and beginners to learn. The rapids build gradually as you make your way down the river. When the rapids get a little wilder, you’ll be ready to take on the class III’s no problem. And in between the beautiful ride down the river, with incredible scenery and wildlife, you’ll get to explore the history of the canyons and the Green River. You’ll see rock art on the canyon walls, evidence of prehistoric and historic human activity. Witness the Fremont and Ute pictographs and petroglyphs, as well as abandoned ranches and homes. But perhaps the most exciting for the little explorers is the rich dinosaur history of the Green River. Yes, dinosaurs roamed these banks and you can walk in their footsteps. Take a stop down the river and hike to Dinosaur Monument Park and witness these prehistoric birds and mammals preserved in the rocks.
