Forty-six miles of remote dirt road winds along a mile wide sandstone bench trapped between the Blue Mountains, 2000 feet up on your right, and the Yampa River Gorge, twelve hundred feet down on your left. We will ride to scenic overlooks of the river canyon cut from a breath-taking landscape of petrified sand dunes. From one such point called `Jenny Lind Rock' the confluence of the Green and Yampa rivers can be seen. It was from this same rock in the 1870's that hermit Pat Lynch claimed his pet lion loved to scream... confronted with the high desert's wild beauty, you might find yourself compelled to do the same. On the morning of day three we will drop our bikes and don our life vests for the time of your life down the Yampa River.

In 1915 President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the Dinosaur area a National Monument. This designation has preserved Dinosaur leaving miles of unspoiled wilderness. The Yampa Bench weaves an exciting, scenic path through 50 miles of the park. The river is one of the Rocky Mountain's last undammed rivers. Since it still flows freely, the Yampa is run only during the spring run off in May and June. Massive slickrock canyon walls with views of Lodgepole Pines on Blue Mountain make this canyon unique. Warm Springs Rapid, a major descent, highlights the trip before joining the Green River at Echo Park. From here, you will traverse Whirlpool Canyon and Split Mountain Gorge and more rapids.
