Gates of Lodore Rafting 3 Day Trip

The Gates of Lodore 3 Day rafting trip is one of the most scenic river adventures in the country. It’s known to boast a bit of everything— exhilarating whitewater, gorgeous hiking trails, abundant wildlife, fascinating archeology, and geologic masterpieces to name a few attributes!

With 45 river miles to explore, 3-day trips still offer plenty of time to unwind in camp each evening, with a hike up Jones Hole Trail as one of the top excursions. This trail reveals an entirely new ecosystem as you travel father into the side canyon, with waterfalls, wildflowers, and rare pictographs to explore.

As for the rapids, you won’t have to wait long for the big splashes. Disaster Falls, Triplet Falls, and Hell’s Half Mile all take place within the first 12 miles of the trip. After the Yampa River confluence in Echo Park, Whirlpool Canyon and Split Mountain churn up constant Class II rapid sections that guides and guests always love to run.

This dramatic section of the Green River is a favorite among the river runners who have experienced it. Once you pass through the gates of Lodore Canyon, another world of wilderness unravels bend after bend.

Gates of 3-day Lodore Raft trips start at $999.00.
