We are interested in running Northgate Canyon, possibly as an overnighter with a 14' oar rig raft. CRC says the 6 mile gap campground takeout has a 1/2 mile long trail to the river. Can we DRIVE to the river? Because we can't carry the raft that far unless I start taking some serious steroids!
What about doing the "second-half of the canyon" and taking out at Pickaroon? Is this a better take-out, and how long, and how "mellow" is it?
Thanks,
Jennifer
