_____---J =- ~-- _.--1-_- -------- -------- . . Think of your safety and the safety of others while in the monument. Taking unnecessary risks,or merely rough-housing can invite tragedy. You may be hours or even days from medical help. Should an accident requiring the assistance of others occur while you are on the river, it is recommended that you wait for another raft party rather than attempting to climb out of the canyons. Please ,report any accidents to a Park Ranger as soon as is practical. A Ranger must be notified upon the completion of your raft trip. This is essential to prevent unnecessary search and rescue operations. B. Access to River and Length of Trip: The run from Deerlodge Park to Split Mountain is usually made in three to five days. The trip through Lodore Canyon to Split Mountain is usually made in three or four days. The Green River, below its junction with the Yampa, may be entered at Echo Park or Rainbow Park. The roads to these points of entry are dusty and sometimes impassable when wet. The road to Echo Park cannot be negotiated with trailers larger than the standard utility size. C. Noncommercial Trip Criteria: In order to qualify for a noncommer- cial boating permit, the following conditions must be met: 1. There is a bona fide sharing of costs where no part of the fees collected are: a. in excess of actual costs of the trip, b. for salary or financial gain in any manner for any of the group, its leaders or sponsors, c. for capital increase of the major equipment or facilities used on the trip. 2. Boatmen and crew may not be paid in any manner. 3. There is no media or direct mail advertising or soliciting for trip participants. .. D. Commercial Operations: There are authorized concessioners who, in season, make regular and charter trips down the Green and Yampa Rivers within the monument. For particulars' on these trips, please contact Park Service information desks within the monument or write to Dinosaur National Monument, P.O. Box 210, Dinosaur, CO 81610, and request a complete listing of commercial operators. No additional commercial operations will be allowed to begin conducting trips in the ml'nument. E. Parking: At the Split Mountain parking lot, boaters leaving their vehicles should unhook all trailers and park both units perpendicular to the curb. This will help alleviate congestion. Vehicles left at Deerlodge Park should be parked opposite the camp- ing area to avoid taking up needed camping space. ll.El 27 N~*" 1"'6'2. ~
