Dories on the Green River
in Desolation Canyon

We always thought that we couldn’t do much to enhance an already wonderful trip like the Desolation Canyon five-day rafting trips that we schedule each year. This canyon  incised by the Green River is about as beautiful as any river canyon could possibly be. We have, however, found one method that adds tremendously to the overall trip, and that is the addition of three little wooden boats called dories!  These colorful craft provide seating for a total of 9-12 people and offer a ride through the early season whitewater that cannot be experienced in any other way. The dories float and bob like corks, riding high on the waves.  And we just have to say it – you can’t help but “feel superior” when you are riding in a Dory!

Itinerary: Meet us in Green River, Utah the evening prior to the trip. (Accommodations that night are your responsibility.) We will meet at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum for a short orientation, and to distribute waterproof bags. The following morning, the day begins with a scenic aerial preview of the canyon via a short flight from the Green River airport to the launch site at Sand Wash. We will provide transportation to the airport, as well as parking for your vehicle near our warehouse. At the end of the river trip, we will return you to Green River City around 4:00 pm.

You may choose to drive to Green River and leave your car at our place. Or, if you are flying out to join us, book your flight into Salt Lake City, Utah or Grand Junction, Colorado and rent a car or take a van shuttle for the drive to Green River. We can give you shuttle company information over the phone. Please call for details. Van shuttle information here
