Dolores below Gateway

[sofia]

Looking for some relatively current information on what the campsites / beaches look like below Gateway. Are there any left or have the tamarisk completely taken over?

I ran the gateway to dewey section last year in April. Our flow was about 1,000 cfs and we (two of us in kayaks) did it in 2 days. There is a very nice campground on river L 1/4 mile above Beaver rapids...probably the nicest camp on that section marked by cabin sized sandstone boulders on the L bank. After Beaver Rapids and until roughly the Entrada Ranch area......campsites were minimal. Your biggest hassle is going to be the shuttle. Pm me if you want any other info.
