River Trips on Sunday, June 6
Colorado White Water Association and American Whitewater
50th Anniversary River Trip Event
In 2004, both the Colorado Whitewater Association (CWWA) and American Whitewater (AW) are celebrating their 50th year of enjoying and protecting whitewater resources. To celebrate the half century mark of both organizations, CWWA and AW have teamed together to organize the 50th Anniversary River Trip Event on Sunday, June 6, 2004. CWWA and AW are working together to host a river trip day for every skill level, with runs on Gore Creek and the Eagle River for skill levels from Class II to Class IV. In addition, AW has invited a number of pros and industry VIPs to join us on the river for the days festivities. The day will conclude with a sponsored Bar-be-que before everyone heads home.
The planned itinerary is as follows.
10:30am: Meet at the Holy Cross Ranger Station Parking Lot, just off I-70 west of Vail, and break into groups
11:00am: All groups head out to the river for the run selected
11am to 3pm: All groups on river, including Gore Creek, Dowd Chute and Upper Eagle, Lower Eagle, or other local runs
3pm to 4pm: Complete runs and shuttle, and return to Ranger Station
4:00pm: Sponsored Bar-be-que begins
6:00pm: Head home after a great day on the river!
The River Trip Event is open to everyone, and all skill levels are invited. All we ask is that anyone who is not a current CWWA member join as a temporary member for $2 (this is due to insurance requirements for an event of this nature). Both CWWA and AW will also have information about our upcoming events, conservation activities, and access preservation efforts for both Colorado and around the U.S. This would be a great chance to join CWWA and AW for the first time, or renew your current membership.
If you and your boating friends are interested in joining us, please contact CWWA board member Phillip Bowman at safety"at"coloradowhitewater.org (modify with @ symbol) to sign up. We are trying to keep track of how many people are coming to make sure we have enough food for the bar-be-que, and that we have enough room at the Ranger Station. Just drop us a line with how many people are coming, and what your general skill level is.
Please join CWWA and AW on Sunday, June 6th, for a great day on the river celebrating 50 years of whitewater paddling!
