just curious- what's the hazard below HWY 288? on the wilderness aware (lower canyon) map it says it's impassable to boats. is this another Quartzite falls, or native lands or something?

It's a low head dam.

Yep - our group bought several of the maps from Oarboatman (in Glenwood Springs) last year. His suggestion was to run pea-cord through the spiral binding and carabiner it to your boat. It worked for me - even through Corkscrew which served to bounce me around more than I would've liked at 2,100 cfs
