Hey Folks,
Need some advice on choosing between two runs we have never done. We are heading out for Labor Day weekend with some friends that want to see their first whitewater above Class II. So....
Shoshone/Colorado/Roaring Fork: About 5.5-6 hours away. Looks like Class II-III roadside runs. Camping looks like we would have to to find primitive sites or go commercial. Offers more variations than the Snake option.
Alpine Canyon/Snake: Further away at about 7.5 hours. Sounds like the whitewater might be a little better.
I assume both will be crowded for the 3 day weekend but we will make do. Any thoughts between the two options? Camping in the region that is recommended? Worth the drive? We don't have many other options in this region and I would love to get out.
