yampa canyon overview
The Yampa River as it floats into Dinosaur National Monument is highly sought after due to the amazing and absolutely stunning beauty of the 2,000 foot deep canyon of smooth sandstone. The river itself makes a slow, winding journey through Yampa Canyon with only a few minor rapids. The attraction to this isolated place still remains its glorious beauty, abundant wildlife and the feeling of floating the river back in time to days when early inhabitants of Colorado called the Yampa Canyon home.
