white water dinosaur national monument: split mountain day use - July 28, 2023
The last section of the Green River in Dinosaur National Monument is the nine miles of Split Mountain Canyon beginning at the Rainbow Park boat ramp and flowing swiftly downstream, punctuated by notorious rapids, assorted riffles, and stunning views as the river cuts swiftly through the mountain before reaching the take-out at the Split Mountain boat ramp. At the Split Mountain take-out, we have a reservable group campsite for two nights (flush toilets seasonally, no showers). No organized group meals although you are welcome to create your own cooperative meal groups. Nearby is the world famous dinosaur quarry where you can see 149 million year old dinosaur bones encased in the rock. Registration opens June 1 at 8 am, $50 deposit required.
