Our Gates of Lodore 4 Day rafting trip offers a slower pace and a fully immersive experience through one of the most spectacular river canyons of all time. Each day comes with time to stop and explore Lodore’s side canyons in between the rapid sections, and longer evenings in beautifully lush camps.

Throughout the 45 mile meander, we usually explore gorgeous trails like the Hanging Gardens at the canyon rim, and the Jones Hole Trail after the Yampa River Confluence, with possibly more stops along the way. Lodore holds a wealth of history and wildlife, so keep your eyes peeled for rock art and big horned sheep, on and off the river.

The big whitewater sections are great bookends on this trip, with the historic and notorious class III rapids on the first day (Disaster Falls, Triplet Falls, and Hell’s Half Mile), and the rolling class II’s of Split Mountain on the last day.

For those who want to really indulge in the rare wilderness of Lodore Canyon, this trip is for you. The more time spent in nature the better, we say.
