Plan your trip through Dinosaur National Monument with the RiverMaps™ Green & Yampa Rivers Guidebook. Includes USGS maps, plus clear descriptions of rapids and camps. Durable waterproof pages handle the wear and tear of life on the river.

• Covers both the 43 miles of the Gates of Lodore to Split Mountain section of the Green River and the 46 miles on the Yampa River’s Deerlodge Park put-in to its confluence with the Green. Boaters on the Yampa float their final 25 miles on the Green River to the Split Mountain take-out.
• These large format books are printed on tough waterproof paper and spiral bound so they lay flat and can take the waves, splash and wear of a river trip.
• Opened up, the left side page has mile-by-mile descriptions of major rapids, campsites, and features of interest. There are also great color photos that illustrate the text.
• The right side page features color USGS topographic maps at the scale of 2,000 feet to the inch (1:24,000). There’s no better way to keep track of where you are on the river.
• The front of the book contains detailed information about the rivers, landscape, flora and fauna, and more.
• Front eight pages include Park Service contact info as well as regulations, weather, geology, archaeology, history, ecology, and resource protection wisdom.

Our Guide Books

Our spiral-bound guide books are offset-printed on plastic pages. The covers are plastic card stock. The entire books are waterproof and tear resistant (but not indestructible!). Our guide books include mile-by-mile descriptions of campsites, rapids, and points of interest and include many photographs.

Care of Your Books

You can write on dry plastic pages with an indelible marker like a Sanford Sharpie. If your offset printed map or guide book gets wet, don't worry! It can stay wet without damage. You will eventually want to dry it out with a rag or by turning and air drying each page. The pages usually won't stick, but... Don't cook your books! We have seen some books with pages that stick, especially where the ink is heavy over photographs. The only way we are able to reproduce this effect is to let a wet book dry for an extended time in the hot sun. You should avoid leaving your book in the direct sun or a hot vehicle or trailer for any longer than necessary. Day-to-day use in the sun while on the river has never been a problem that we've seen. Don't freeze your books! We have seen books that were wet and frozen lose some of their ink and underlying coating that holds the ink to the plastic page. If your book is wet and frozen, we suggest either letting it defrost or dipping it in the river for a minute to melt the ice and allow the pages to separate.
