Good read! The trail-runner on page 17 might have been a park employee.

Try camping in Echo Park next time..it is great especially in fall! Last year I spent 3 nights there in October, probably saw 5 other people in total, with nobody else camped.

Doh! I wonder why they reduced the flow?

Just found a place to find maps online...you'll have to do the searching yourself :naughty:

Well, you might check with your NSS grotto group....which would be the southern Nevada one in your case.

Well, looks like the forecast has lowered considerably...but still very high.

Looks like it will be around 90k. I hope nobody "misses" the confluence like those canoeists did about 10 years ago.

Somebody grabbed the June 7th on the Yampa, but now the 9th is open.

Big Melt is coming!!!

Yampa forecast at 36,000 next week. That would be a record stage, slightly higher than 1984. Looks people have cancelled on the 5th, 6th, and 7th

Simpson Springs looks like my kind of campground. Reminds me of some places in western South Dakota

I was wondering when someone was going to mention Toroweep. It is definitely on my wish list...but I need to get a 4wd first.
I consider a campground primitive if it doesn't have electricity or...

That does look like a nice area!

My favorite is definitely Echo Park campground in Dinosaur National Monument. 2WD cars can usually make the 13-mile gravel road with little trouble...unless it rains!

Here's a link to some photos...

Based on those predictions, looks like the Big Melt is yet to come

wow! I hope anyone going during the peak flows takes ALOT of photos and videos!

I wonder what Cross Mountain Gorge on the Yampa will be like?

Do an image search for a millipede trackway from the Carboniferous...they were 6 feet long
Sorry, no links for me yet!

Bump! I am surprised this is the only thread about this place. It is a dream destination for me as well! It is basically what Yosemite was like at the end of the Ice Age.

I can't post a link yet...
