Geology
A World of Stone
The geology of the Western U.S. can’t be better witnessed than drifting through the region’s river canyons. OARS geology trips pair classic river trips in amazing environments with a special emphasis on the amazing rocks and structure and its complex history.
Led by expert geologists, these adventures dive into millions of years of geologic record written in layers of stone. See prehistoric oceans rise and fall, ancient volcanoes ooze molten lava and extinct now-fossilized critters crawl the earth.
Whether you’re looking for a light lesson or an examination of the fine details, join OARS for a fun exploration of the wonders of the earth’s evolution in the best classrooms nature has to offer.

What a fantastic trip! We rafted the Yampa and had a geology expert, plus the incredibly knowledgeable guides. The interactions among the guides and guests was inspiring. The continuous willingness of everyone to assist everyone else at all times made the trip even better. The guides were so attentive to every need. There is nothing more beautiful than desert canyons sliced by rivers.
