Breathtaking Utah | Embark on a Rafting Adventure in Dinosaurland

Rafting in Dinosaur National Monument

Floating down the Green River, the cold water is mostly clear. But in the sunlight, the surface can give off a green hue. High, reddish-brown sandstone walls tower over you. As you float down the river, beautiful red sandstone gives way to limestone and then sandstone again. With every turn of the river, wide breathtaking expanses open up before your eyes. This is rafting in Dinosaur National Monument.

A four-day rafting trip in Dinosaur National Monument builds a deeper connection to a monument previously visited on a day trip.

Local guide, Tyler Callantine, not only teaches visitors about history of the Green River, but his personal connection to the river as well.

Leave no trace efforts not only protect the river, land and wildlife but allow visitors to enjoy their river trips.

A river trip in the monument offers something for everyone, from rafting, kayaking, hiking to wildlife viewing.

Exploring the Native Village at This Is The Place

Nestled in the foothills of Salt Lake City lies a hidden gem spotlighting Native culture.

Nestled in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountain Range lies a hidden gem spotlighting Native culture. This Is the Place Heritage Park, near the mouth of Salt Lake City’s Emigration Canyon, is typically known for its information regarding early pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other European settlers (Read: Journey Through Utah’s History at This Is the Place Heritage Park).

Yet in the park’s Native American Village, this heritage site also spotlights the Native peoples who have called the Utah territory home for millennia, long before a wagon wheel rolled through this mountainous desert.
