RiverWonderGrass (RWG) is thrilled to announce its 2026 dates and artist lineup for another unforgettable season of guided rafting adventures and intimate live concerts. Guests can choose from two breathtaking routes — the Yampa Canyon or the Gates of Lodore — with trip lengths of four or five days, depending on the location. Tickets are on sale now.
Each RiverWonderGrass expedition blends the thrill of whitewater rafting with the soul of live acoustic music. Guests will journey deep through the untamed canyons of wild Utah — lands once traversed by dinosaurs and outlaws alike. Days are filled with exciting rapids, hiking, wildlife viewing, and riverside mindfulness, while nights bring acoustic campfire jam sessions, locally sourced meals, and the serenity of a starlit sky shared among new friends.
As Outside Magazine described the experience: “Somewhere in this ancient, meditative landscape, it occurs to me that river running and collaborative live music share a gene: both demand knowledge of the rules and a willingness to bend them, adherence to a plan, and the ability to chuck it.”
