7-31-14 Ran this at 780 CFS from what the gauge reads. Day trip from Chukar Trail to North Fork. Beautiful river with the rapids getting more exciting as the river progresses. Rented a 13 foot raft from Al at the take out Pleasure Park. G, Jayvin, Sam, Max, Noah paddled the raft, Charlie and Eli as our safety boaters. With the kids paddling, this made for a hard and exciting run. Cable rapid and the one after were tricky but we where able to keep the raft from flipping and all souls onboard. G would enjoy a canoe on most of the river, skipping just a few of the larger more consequential rapids. Our safety crafts were a stand up paddle board and the Spanish Fly canoe, which made for an enjoyable selection of paddle play for the kids. Next time we may have our own separate gear boat and run the river in smaller crafts like the Mini Me and Hand Breaker. Steve @ (928)660-0958 from pleasure park was helpful for info and shuttle. For all our gear, we hired two pack donkeys. From the Montrose airport the drive is one hour more or less on a rough 2x2 dirt road. Flew into Montrose and out of Delta with an easy 20 min drive from the takeout.
