Leave No Trace Camping

This area of Dinosaur National Monument is roadless wilderness, so we bring all food and gear on oar boats and stop at a new camp each night. Guides and guests practice leave no trace camping, so if you pack it in – pack it out. Portable toilet systems, privacy tents and hand-washing stations are provided.

Enjoy catered meals starting with day one lunch and ending with day four lunch. Adrift Adventures will provide everyone a profile form to complete and return prior to your trip for dietary needs and requests.
