green river

A few days before our put in at Mineral Bottom for a trip through Stillwater Canyon, I was talking to a friend of mine about the trip, he asked if I had seen the the flow on the Green further upstream? No I said. Sure enough, while I had been watching the flow at Mineral Bottom, which had been...

Desolation and Gray Canyons: 84 miles of the Green River with 50+ class II and III rapids along the way. I failed to secure a permit in the lottery for 2017 but picking up a cancellation was pretty easy. I chose August because I love the heat and I hoped to miss the bugs that are notorious in...

Being pretty new to rafting, I had a progression in my head on how I thought I would develop my skills and get to the point that I could row serious whitewater rivers. My first year (2016) I did some easy stuff like Ruby Horsethief, the Green Daily and the ABC in Flaming Gorge. I figured the...

We went into this years Deso trip wanting to do minimal rowing and tons of hiking, but as always, the winds kinda held us back. We still got to do some great hikes and spent lots of time in the Canyon. We laid over at Jack Creek, and were forcefully laid over at Steer Ridge because of the "W"...

Towards the end of August, @Dave, @Smokey, Sage and I took the raft down the Green River Daily in Grey Canyon. This is the final stretch of the multi-day Desolation/Grey Canyon trip that I hope to do soon and it makes a good practice run for warming up to larger rapids found upstream. Taylor...

I have been a long time lurker and decided to finally post a trip report of a River trip through Desolation/Gray canyon. I worked as a guide for three summers with Western River Expeditions out of Moab, I ran trips on Desolation Canyon, Westwater Canyon, The Grand and of course the daily...

Last thursday I had plans to drive up to Wyoming and float/fly fish bighorn river. But at very last moment trip got cancelled due to overflowing river and prospect of poor fishing. I had already days off from work and already boarded one of my dogs at the camp. I had already almost reached...

Wasn't sure where to post this, under "backpacking" or "everything else" since it was a combined trip so apologies in advance. I'm only 4 months late in talking about this trip. The following jaunt spanned the end of March and ended in early April - typically a bit before the spring run-off...

Saturday & Sunday, August 4-5, 2012 The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO On Saturday I met up with Jackson and his family so that we could float a section of the Green River known as the Green River Daily. This section is a few miles long and located within Gray Canyon a few miles north of...
