Colorado

Did this run with inflatable kayaks on 7/16/2020 at 950cfs. It took 5 hours and was a great run for beginners and intermediates with II and II+ rapids. There are some stretches of flat water but the scenery and the railroad tracks keep things interesting. If you want a shorter run you can get out at the Radium Campground or Rancho Del Rio. Rancho Del Rio looks like a fun place to stay with cabins and and a bar & grill. They have inflatable raft and kayak rentals and operate a shuttle service which was $60 from Pumphouse to State Bridge. Just a note about camping at Pumphouse - it is first come first serve as is the Radium campground so your best odds are to get their mid-week. We showed up on a Wednesday and there were open spots but by Thursday it was full.
