Bluegrass Creek, Wyoming

Stampede

Bluegrass is a very unique gem with beautiful drops in the most unlikely of places! located in the Laramie Range. some pics of 514 cfs which is the wheatland #2 outflow which is tunneled underground to the ditch where it comes out of the tunnel. the ditch isn't a natural stream bed so be careful in the first 1/2 section.

514cfs is nearly eddlyless for the first 1/2 mile and damn near out of control for somewhat normal creek bed. vote between 240 cfs to 514 is hit to it high and juicy!

Jackson Juniors.

Wyoming Whitewater Championships, Jackson Hole Snake River. just couple pics of the juniors ripping Kings Wave. These kids are the next generation of Wyoming Paddlers. Rendezvous River Sports and the Jackson Kayak Club do a hell of a good job with the program in Jackson. keep ripping

Sheep Eater Falls(right is nasty)
couple boofs below do or die is this sweet looking waterfall into a cauldron, 12 footer w/ shallow LZ on the left

standing on the same rock as above looking down stream at the beautiful hidden paradise.

Luke and I went looking for some goods one rainey weekend. After a decent drive through the mud and country side aproaching an ominous mountain we drove to our destination. hiked 2 miles to find that we've been skunked by a a flow 2 inchs lower than needed for a low run through. But found another possible early season classic.

MirAcle Mile, North Platte River



Lukea putting on below Kortez Reservoir


Good ol mirAcle was running high. Luke decided to motivate and we went 2 days in a row after work. It is located about 1.5 hours south of Casper between Kortez and Pathfinder Reservoirs The Platte was being released at 4300 cfs through the Kortez Dam. The run which turned out to be a awsome class III, with one fun IV with possible seive consequences, was a great time and would be fun for beginners. To say the least... miricle mile is good stuff with more than likely anything over 3000 possibly 2400. one really sweet drop to run with a seive and a nasty hole down the gut was the drop immediately after putting in. We were also rewarded with a sweet play wave near the put in. luke decided to name it Miner Delight cause he was sure delighted to find such a sick wave and there's a actual Gold Mine less than half mile south east. don't know the beta on when the wave is running but will try to keep some tabs. just under 4k was good and same with 4300cfs. Multiple take out and put in options are available. BLM camping is available almost down the entire run.
