Great pics, looks like a blast! :2thumbs:

Looks awesome. Did you guys take out at the same ramp that we did on the Yampa? Dinosaur Nat. Monument?

Yep, looks like a blast! Good times. :popcorn:

Justin, ya, once past the confluence it's all the same thing. We ended up staying at Big Island camp, just across from Island Park where you, Scott and I slept on the plateau

Congrats on another fine trip :clap: Brings back some crazy memories.

looks like great fun! I spent too much time on LAND in Dinosaur watching all you lucky boaters heading down the river despite the wind. I could tell you volumes about the birds there, but nothing about the river… the video is awesome too - thank you! :haha:
