Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportGreat low water run, had a couple first timers to the section so took our time. The first rapid has a verticle log in the left channel. Easy to spot and avoid. The rest of the run was very clean. minor rock bumping. just pick the channel with the most water.
Staying left for the bigger water.
The final leg of a great rapid!
Really fun wave train - totally worth the extra miles.
A crux move at the top of Snaggletooth Rapid.

A good minimum level for this is about 500 cfs. Snaggletooth is fairly easy below 2000 cfs and gets big above 3000. There is a short gorge above the Little Greys confluence that is a lot of fun at higher levels.
Ran this 5/31/02, high brown water, 3.6 on guage at takeout. To get to take out, drive to town of Alpine. Drive up Grey's river road several miles to first bridge over river. There is a campground there. That is the takeout. Procede up road, scouting Snaggletooth on the way for about 3 miles. You will see a road on your right going down to a bridge across the Greys, this is the put-in. Run can be extended with additional class 3 by going further upstream. In the stretch we ran there are 3 distinct rapids in increasing order of difficulty with the last being Snaggletooth (4+ at high water). Looks worse than it is. Some declined to run it based on it's look, but those who did run it found it not as pushy as it looked with plenty of time to make your moves. Remeniscent of the lower canyon of the Clearwater, ID.

Great surfin wave on river right if you can make the ferry.
This is the middle of the top three holes that must be punched before entering the meat of Snaggletooth on Greys River, Jackson, WY.
