Day 1: Meet your party at our headquarters in Vernal, Utah. Take a three-hour van ride to Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge, the site of the put-in. Pass through the Gates of Lodore and encounter John Wesley Powell’s notoriously named Disaster Falls.Day 2: The Gates mark the beginning of High Desert country – the Colorado Plateau – in what is deemed an ecological transition-zone; a landscape teaming with wildlife. As the canyon narrows, more rapids emerge: Harp Falls, Triplet Falls, and Hells Half Mile. Hike at Rippling Brook and discover a secluded waterfall.Day 3: At the confluence of the Green and Yampa rivers at Echo Park, the canyon widens before the river circles Steamboat Rock. Here the river enters Whirlpool Canyon. The afternoon may be spent at Jones Hole Creek – a blueribbon trout stream with side canyon petroglyphs and waterfall.Day 4: Peaceful morning in Island and Rainbow Park before entering another massive gorge. The Greens powerful forces cut laterally through Split Mountains uplifted and colorful core. Rapids abound before the take out and a 35-minute ride back to Vernal.This is a sample itinerary and should not be thought of as the trip you will experience.
