The Dolores River flows 230 miles north from the Bear Mountains in Colorado lying deep within the San Juan National Forest. Hosting Arches National Park and petroglyphs and ruins of the Anasazi peoples, the Dolores River also has a rich history of gold, silver and carnotite (used to produce uranium) mining.
A raft trip on the Dolores River offers more unbroken miles of wilderness river scenery and white water rafting thrills than any river trip in the lower forty eight states, one of America’s best rafting runs and ranking only behind the “Grand Canyon” of the Colorado and Middle Fork of the Salmon as a classic paddling experience. The Dolores River is at its most runnable state in early spring run (mid-April thru mid-June) for white water rafting trips. Low water requires the use of canoes for fishing trips which can sometimes be run summer and fall as well. Minimum age of 10. Associated with Dvorak Expeditions.
