After work Jackson run!<br />
Super fun above 2 ft with unbelievable views of the Tetons. Have your friend push you off the bridge to start your run!

Try using this gauge. I'd guess that 500cfs is minimal. The run gets pushy and recovery is more difficult above 2000cfs. It's still reasonable at 3500cfs or so.

A good minimum for this run is probably 600 cfs at Kelly. I've seen the gauge on this one have lots of problems. I did this run at 2300 cfs (2.x' on the bridge) one year, the next year, the gauge read 1100, but the water was at 3.5' on the bridge gauge and a lot bigger than the year before. It gets a bit pushier at high water, but still isn't all that hard.

Ran 5/30/02. 1 1/2 ft on "old guage", which is closer to 3 ft on new guage, 800 cfs on USGS website. This is high water and makes the run nicer (not so much rock bouncing). Mostly class 3 with one easy 4 ("Hermit"). Boat scouted whole thing. Put in on Slide lake (take Taylor ranch road off Gros Ventre road) Take out at river access at park boundry, short 2.7 miles but sweet.
