Colorado's Big Drops

[badkins]

Jesus Christ! is there anything you guys haven't run in this state!?!? Frickin Ribbon Falls has got to be at like 11,000 foot! I saw some pics of it and thought it looked pretty cool, but dismissed it as soon as I figured how far up the trail it was. Have you paddled Cascade or North Inlet Creeks?

We're pretty freakin' OLD, man! Been paddling around here for too long. Hartje made his escape years ago, but after a year and a half away, I got sucked back in ... Re, cascade & n. inlet : NO ...

What's N. inlet creek look like? Is it worth hiking? I heard a rumor that there might be some decent creeking there.

[badkins]

It's been several years since I've hiked up it, but it's one of those "looks good on topo" creeks. Lots of gradient and a big watershed.

as far as gore creek under i-70 goes: hobie and struth got the first d of those a few years ago...can't say more...

as far as other big drops that haven't been run...they are still around, but have to be found...won't say more...

ive been creeking for 4 seasons in the majestic colorado rockies and by far creeking has become my choice i love the feling of a free fall just as much as the next guy( i hope to get the jr world record) but i can stay the running a gnarly line technical line gets my adreline going like nothing else if i wanted to run clean drp after clean drp with little tech id move some were else but a tech 10 20 footer will always be better than a 50 wit that a dog in a boat could run

In response to the talk about Black Gore Creek

you have to look downstream a bit on gore creek. there is another bigger drop than the top two.

These are the drops I was referring to in the post above. The top drop looks to be around thirty feet and is directly under I-70. This falls drops directly into a stomping, narrow cascade, rages around a hard right turn and then drops of another 30-40 footer. Like I said above, the level was pretty high when I looked at it, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone has run it, but it looks very challenging...
