    Hey folks. Yeah, it's April but it's never to early to put a trip on the books. I am looking for a group or person that would like to chip in on mule/donkey/whatever pack animal rentals for getting gear down to the stream. As of now I'm thinking about doing it with two buddies in my 14' boat...

    Has anybody went up from willow beach with a 5hp? I’ve done it a bunch with my other rig which has a 25 hp. I wonder if I wait for the dam to hold back and try to motor my 16 foot raft up????

    Hey, I lost my IR pogies on Part II of the portage in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. I think they're right at the point where you have to lower boats down that nasty loose dirt gully. If anyone from Crested Butte or Gunnison happens to go take an early season run I would reward in beer to...

    Has anyone been to Black Canyon of the Colorado below Hoover Dam? Thinking it might be good place to get on the water and camp in a canyon in the dead of winter. From the map it looks like there are hot springs and beaches. I'm wondering if its jammed full of Las Vegas tourists? Any input would...

    Buzzards, Thinking about heading into the Black in a week and a half for a slow 3-day, exploratory lap. Flows have been holding around 430cfs so far, and I was wondering if anyone had some beta on what the canyon is like at that level. I know it's obviously not an optimal level - but I'd assume...

    Been thinking about that amazing crack in the earth, and sure enough, up goes a pic.... Did the huge flows move anything around? Any wood to know about? I've only been in over 1K, how's 750? Etc.... -junior junior wannabe ranger

    Hello, Figured I'd post up that I hiked a Werner paddle out of the Black canyon of the Gunnison the other day. If you lost one, or know someone who lost one, have them e-mail me. I'm in Carbondale, CO and can make sure to get it to you however necessary. It's a little beat, but the model and...
  14. Safety Alerts, River Access & River Flows
    I hiked down to the river on the Tomichi route (266554, 4269977, UTM) on Saturday, 31 May. A guy on his way up said he had seen a big tree coming down the river and it got stuck in the rapids right in front of him. It was still there when we got down there and I wish I had a camera with me...

    First off hello all. Been reading for years but finally signed up. I've done the Black Canyon before, but the flows were always around 6-700. I've run 13-14ft rafts down there. Planning on doing a trip in June this year. I'm guessing the flows will be more around 1000-1500. I'll be...

    There's a dam release this weekend for the Bear, heads up to anyone interested in the Southeastern Idaho/Western Wyoming/Northern Utah area. Not sure exactly how many releases are planned this year, but I'm sure you could find it if you took the time to google it. I'll be heading down early...

    Got a Wateralert on Friday that the flows below Crystal Res bumped to over 600 cfs. USGS Current Conditions for USGS 09128000 GUNNISON RIVER BELOW GUNNISON TUNNEL, CO Anyone know why they'd be spilling so much/so early, when Blue Mesa is something like 40' low? Anyone have any idea how long...
