Can I Cancel My Trip?

We understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes lead to the need for trip cancellations. While Adrift strives to be as accommodating as possible, our trips are subject to strict limitations set by the National Park Service, including specific dates and capacities within a short season. Please see our cancellation policy for further information.

We do have minimum reservation requirements on our rafting trips.  If we do not have enough reservations for a trip to be economically feasible for us to operate, we will contact you within 14 days of your departure for multi-day trips and 48 hours for single-day trips.  At that time you will have the option of moving to another trip, waiting to see if others join the trip at a later date, or canceling your reservation with a full refund.  We understand that your vacation is important, and we strive to make your vacation as easy and memorable as possible.

Do I need a park pass?

Yes, a Park Pass per guest is required to enter the Dinosaur National Monument. Park passes Include America the Beautiful Year Passes, Senior Passes, Veterans Passes, 4th Grade/5th Grade Explorer Passes, etc. If you do not have a year pass, 7-day permits are sold at the Dinosaur Quarry entrance station at $15 an adult (15 and over) or $25 a vehicle.
