GREAT TRIP, put this on your bucket list. Ran this about 1800, March/18, good to go! Did it in 4 days but wish we would have taken 5. Getting the offseason permit was easy, but be prepared for all 4 seasons. Rainy, cold, hot and snowy! Our last day we woke up to around 3 inches of snow on our boat. Purchase yourself a guide book, but at 1800 almost everything was read and run except Hells Half Mile.

At 1800 the move at HHM in an oar rig was start center left, then go left or right around Lucifer rock in the middle of the current. I went right, but had to avoid a guard rock at the top, making the move a little tricky. Luckily, all the rapids at this level were pretty mellow. Not pushy, and not too bony.

For shuttle, River Runners requires a 3 car minimum and in the low season, we were the only trip going so they couldn't shuttle our car. We ended up dropping a bike at the take out, biking to Vernal, Utah and then renting a car at the airport to set shuttle. Definitely a little hairy but doable.
