July 4 creekin in Colorado?!!
Posted: Tue May 13, 2014 12:59 pm
Any other Arkies or expat creek boaters gonna be boatin out in CO July 2-6? I'm more out-of-practice than most years due to a near-terminal case of "dry-boat", but I remember the lines on a bunch of creeks and rivers out there. Well, I at least remember the really important eddies. No worries, after a couple warm-up hucks, I'll be right as rain. And I'd enjoy meeting new folks who share my love of interesting gradient.
So I'm taking the creek boat and will be aiming this trip for class 4 with a sprinkling of 5. Castle-into-Roaring-Fork, Pine Cr. + Numbers, any section of Denver's Clear Cr., Steven's Down on the Poudre, Crystal Narrows... that sort of thing. Always up for a bit more spice too - Clear/Lake Cr. of Ark, Poudre Narrows, Bailey, Source of Boulder, Big Tommy, etc. Probably not up for high-water hijinks on the truly steep/remote/gnarly stuff this trip tho. If all stars aligned exactly right, I'd consider Big South... but that's a more serious undertaking and I'd wanna be REALLY feeling it.
So if any/all of that sounds good to you and you got a hall pass for July 4 week, let's talk.
