Hi,
I'm hoping to get some input regarding the Colorado river run from Grizzly Creek down to either South Canyon or New Castle for Father's Day weekend. The flows are ~10,000 between Grizzley Creek and Two Rivers, and then up to 15,000 to South Canyon.
The flow chart is saying that at 15,000 it's not recommended. My question is who this recommendation is intended for? Tubers? I just got off the Grand Canyon and sadly, our peak was ~11,000. Anyway, I'm a seasoned boater but haven't ever run from Two Rivers Park all the way to New Castle. I hit South Canyon this time last year at around 6,000. That was a fun level.
Aside from the bridge pylons and fast water, are there other features that emerge over 10,000 that I should be aware of? Also, what's with that post that is sometimes put into place by I assume the forest service that can block the put-in ramp at Grizzly Creek? Can I assume that thing won't be there tomorrow? Curious...
I'll be running a Briggs dory. Attached is a short shot from last summer on the Snake - Lunch Counter. Woot!
