    Partner and I are splitting out of Pioneer Day ground zero (SLC) to run RHT and Westwater. Sunday night we're at Mee 1, breaking out early Monday to run Westy and make a camp. Heading out Tuesday morning and heading home. We're going for a sporty float in our mini max, so going light weight. We...

    Hi Rafters - we have a Ruby-WW permit for 7/15 - 7/17, but ALL of the boats in our group bailed due to PTO and the damn Taylor Swift concert in Denver. That leaves just our boat (oar rig, 3 passengers). The problem is, even though we've ran WW several times I don't want to run the canyon solo...

    Hi all. My wife & I are going to do a short notice R/HT trip this week. I am going to take my dory - cuz I like rowing in the wind... I was wondering if anyone had eyes on the Westwater ramp recently and if it is in good condition for a trailer. I'll need to back down right to the waterline. I...

    Trying to figure out the best way to link the video. Gnarivores on Instagram posted a wild video of a raft high above the water on the cliff above room of doom... then very quickly returning to the river. Anyone get the backstory? Here's the link: Login • Instagram

    Colorado river basin snowpack is looking pretty good so there will probably be some pretty high flows in Westwater this spring. I've only ran it at 2400 and 5000, but I've heard it gets gnarlier the bigger it gets. What's the worst you've seen it? Do any rapids wash out at higher flows? What...

    Hi guys - I own 25 acres of vacant land about 2 miles west of the Westwater put-in. This is the ultimate crash pad for a river rat! Put in at Westwater, take out at Cisco, and go sleep on your land. Repeat! Tiny homes welcome. Think of the AirBNB $$ my gawd. Near BLM land and epic cliffs...

    Are you allowed to camp at the Westwater put-in the night prior to your launch date? Are there sites to reserve or any good recommendations where to stealth camp? Missed out on Deso, GOL and others this year. Just scored a Westwater July permit.

    Houdē all y'all! Planning on sending my first Westwater trip around the last week in March. Which gauge am I looking for to check flows through the canyon? The state-line gauge? seems kinda far out, huh? Curious to what cfs I can expect this time of year. Tips welcome: The Plan is to camp two...

    Just got home from a ruby horsethief trip and found a drybag with some gear in it that isn't mine. Looks like a member of our group threw the bag in my car in our hasty de-rig, not verifying that the identical drybag to ours didn't contain our gear. I feel terrible! Name the color of drybag and...

    Anyone headed down river on the 28th? I was on right at permit open and still didn’t pull. Would be a group of 2 boats. One run by myself - experienced class 3 boater first time down. Another is a friend of mine he’s a class 5 kayaker but running an oar rig. Mid 20s, drinkers, but mostly after...

    2 very friendly hardboaters from the East, looking to extend our boating time while out west. Anybody have a Westwater permit with 2 spots? 11-13 of April? Heading over to the Gunnison and Arkansas for some low water fun. Curt

    I am getting a bit of an itch to get out in the desert. I was thinking ruby horsethief and west water. Any thoughts on ice? I saw a post about deso having ice and honestly the thought had not crossed my mind. I have done a few Jan grand trips but maybe that river just has enough water to ensure...

    Hello all! I have a couple of extra spots that have opened up for a West water permit next week. We have a group site at the put in for camping booked on the 12th. Put in is the morning of the 13th, we will camp on River that night, And take out on the 14th. Please let me know if you’re

    Hi all, I'm a guide in the Moab area and am running Westwater with 2 rafts and 1 kayak on Sunday. Unfortunately, I was too late on adding some extra spots on my permit so currently only have 4. I'd like to bring a few extra folks (2-3) to help fill up those rafts and was wondering if anyone...

    I've got a permit for tomorrow for 7 on Westwater. I've got a fully rigged 18' cat but am a novice with only experience rowing a couple flatwater rivers w/family (1 class III). I have 2-4 people total who would go if another rower(s) (w/boat & experience on Westwater) is interested in joining...

    Just did a Deso trip and hired River Express Shuttles and they were AWSOME!!! So the sandwash road got the better of us, two truck tires flat and a trailer flat. Got to the put in and there was a note in the vehicle, “Hope you had a great trip, we got one tire was fixed “Tacoma” but the other...
