Hi fellow boaters, Yesterday 6/19/19 we had 2 guides that took a company Mini-Max to get to a climbing spot near the Lonepine river access point and when they returned from their climb the boat was missing. They said it was tied up really well and in a large eddy so our assumption is that...

Headed to CO from MT for a few days of boating in and around Buena Vista and Salida. Anyone gonna be out and about? Would be stoked to meet up with some folks and run anything from Pine Creek all the way down to Royal Gorge and anywhere in between. Shoot me a PM or reply here!!!

https://kdvr.com/2019/06/11/man-on-boy-scouts-trip-in-southern-colorado-dies-in-rafting-accident/ Anyone have more info on this? News reports all say "west of Canon City," but I think the Royal Gorge is closed to commercial boats at 2500 cfs (it was running about 4100 cfs at the time of the...

I found a GoPro Hero3+ this last weekend (9//9/2018) while fishing on the Arkansas just outside of Salida. The river is super low right now and it was right at the water's edge. The case is pretty dinged up and corroded, but the GoPro itself is in almost perfect condition. The SD Card had all of...

I found a paddle upstream from Buena Vista on Sunday. It did not have a name or number on it, but it did have one distinguishing feature. Accurately describe it and I will gladly return it.

A recent flash flood in Cottonwood Creek has pushed a lot of debris, rock, and silt into the Arkansas river at approximately river mile 68.25 (Hampton's Guidebook) and across from CR 39. This is between the Vallie Bridge and Trading Post accesses. The cause is likely due to soil destabilization...

Maybe someone posted this already, but I did this run on Saturday and there were 2 significant changes: 1) The take-out at Pink House is private and gated again! This was a State Park landing last year, if I'm not mistaken. I think the best take-out available is the City park. 2) There is a...

Met a fellow rafter named Patrick on 5/21 who needed a shuttle back up to River Runners on the Arkansas from Stone Bridge back up to River Runners. Left his dark blue/purple helmet in our truck at drop off. Shoot me a pm for follow up. Sent from my SM-G930T using Mountain Buzz mobile app

Hello Everyone. What are the best guide books for the Arkansas river valley? Granite through Royal Gorge. I’m a huge fan of Rivers Maps work, but they unfortunately do not currently make one for the valley. I’m looking to R2 a small raft from numbers launch through royal gorge this summer...

My girlfriend and I just moved to Cotopaxi and I'm thinking of guiding in 2018 on the river. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for companies to work for and ones to avoid? I have 1000's of river miles under my belt but have not previously guided rafts. I do have my WFR and I intend to have...
