If I were you, I'd day hike Snake and backpack from Kwagunt Canyon (Sowats point) to Jumpup to Kanab and then downstream from there. I was there last year and did that backpack in two nights...camped at Showerbath Spring and ran down to the river. If it's your first time, then you'll want 3-4 nights because you'll want to poke into a few side canyons.
