5 miles of snowmobiling, 7 miles of slack, 2 miles of class V, 8 miles of class III-IV

Is anyone familiar with this one?

thats a fair amount of water....could this be the m.f. little snake that was supposed to be run last year, but they ran king sol instead...? or somewhere else on the little snake?

of course, we probably will never know...just another "stash" that the crowds arent privvy to

Is it in Route County or over the WY line? How about the Roaring Fork of the Snake?

The Paddler magazine staff will have a trip report up soon. I will leave that sort of stuff to them as they are probably better at this sort of thing than I am.

Look for it soon here: http://www.paddlermagblog.com/

We left Steamboat at 7:45 am and were back at the Hiway Bar in Hayden by 9:30 pm.

Tis' true. The Elkhead was a serious project and we completed it safely this weekend. Check out the write-up and pics here. This mission could be a sweet multi-day instead of a one-day epic......enjoy.........

still cant seem to get into it....

did you guys run elkhead creek/river? or a section of the elk rvr above the boat?

[latenightjoneser]

Elkhead Creek out of California Park, basically the source of Elkhead Creek. At some point, Elkhead Creek become Elkhead River. I am not sure where. It's about an hour from Steamboat.

The blog worked fine last night. It may be experiencing too much traffic or something today. Try it later.

Nice! The snowmobile shuttle and the elbow pad helmet win the prize for off the wall. What happened to the helmet, did it get ripped off? Sounds like a pretty brutal beatdown. Beautiful canyon, thanks for posting.
