During peak season how hard is it to find a shuttle on the Arkansas?
Do you need to plan arrange a shuttle ahead of time or will there be ones going back and forth?

bring your pfd/ helmet and you'll be fine.

I've used independent whitewater for an ark shuttle, not cheap ($45), but they did the job..

don't do this ^^^ just hitch a ride. helmet and pfd usually do the trick to stand out from bum hitchhikers.

Funny, when I see a helmet and PFD the first thing I think of is "bum hitchhikers"..

You should look at joining the local Pikes Peak Whitewater Kayak Club, Red. (as long as you're not annoying. ) Most of the people in the club paddle the Ark on a regular basis.

or just bring your bike. i can paddle the numbers and bike back to my car in two hours. two weeks ago i hitch'd the royal gorge shuttle; it took about an hour and a half w/ three rides.
