Putin in looking at the south west face of the Deer Creek Range(headwaters)simulator gorge, looking downstream. good class IV, and some techy pool drop V w/pin spots.
After the simulator theres a mile or mile and half of bluegrass veriety III ranch creeking. Some boulders but enough to keep you busy. The walls of the canyon are clearly visable as you paddle up and it gives a sense of adventure, good and bad.... 150 was min for the gorge and 240 would have made it alots of fun. The gorge walls start working there way sooner than expected with the gradient picking increasing till the gorge proper.

beautiful colors in the gorge.. life is everywhere. and we are livin it.

sorry for the trees, looking down into the already pretty walled up gorge, with view of the canyon rim.

Gobstopper
most of the water inbetween looked like this pretty busy and desperately in need of more cfs.

Pat Toft running don't swim

Captain Crunch unrunnable at anything under 225 cfs to be safe. ledge and rock in the middle left and right could possible go. easily portageable right left at low flows don't know about eddie access when flows come up. more good class V in spots and IV and III for the remaining couple of miles to the take out bridge.

The take out bridge and the level. The top of bottom beam would be ideal and this is why.

overall if i had the option of running this creek again at the same flow id have my shit ready in 2 minutes.. road access does partially limites those with 4 wheel drive only and it is so worth the work. private property so im not going to post access for all on this little gem.. if deer is to high and same with boxelder chance are this could be killer.

Putting on in at the edge of the dense foam ,at the bottom of the second drop. Looking at the hike out and at the top ,next to the rock outcropping, is the parking. Funny Right.

Boxelder Creek afterwork run to Wild Turkey

Boxelder Creek is like a women. Some pleasure and whole lot of pain. 100 min is the lowest for enjoyment, if only paddling to wild turkey. The more water the more padded and of coarse more pushy. 150 min is doable for the rest of the canyon including hairy beaver, possibly loaf and of coarse electric slide and dungball. take a look into the nasty before commiting to far.

Fremont Canyon, Wyo

Fremont Canyon could be considered the Black Canyon or Pandoras Box of Wyoming if it had some water. Flows yearround 73-75 cfs from Pathfinder Dam to Alcova reservoir due to water being taken underground for electricity generation. Due to seives and not enough water flow the gorged out canyon is beautiful yet hardly called whitewater. the upper canyon before the gorged out section has the John Fremont boof( named after the original 1st D by John Fremont and crew way back when in the date of wood army boats.) Could be combined in a double day with Mircle Mile, south of Pathfinder Reservoir and putins at Cortez dam.
