GATES OF LODORE

The Gates of Lodore is a spectacular canyon area of the Green River located in the northern portion of Dinosaur National Monument.

World class river rafting (by permit only), as well as a one-mile nature trail and campground make this an excellent place to observe migrant waterfowl, golden eagles, prairie falcons, red tail hawks and other birds.

The area features dramatic canyon walls, sagebrush, and pinyon/juniper woodlands. Side-blotched and eastern fence lizards can be found in the rocky areas.
