Trip Report: Ruby-Horsethief – 3 day trip


September 26-28, 2021

By Kathryn Mutz

Having three RMCC events on the same stretch of river in the same weekend hints at the delight that the Ruby-Horsethief run offers!


Our three-day, two-night trip launched on Sunday about noon with one tandem canoe (Jerry and Louise), a solo canoe (John), a solo kayak (Janet), and a dory (Chet and Kathryn). Flows fluctuated a bit, but hovered around 2500 cfs – a gentle flow for the canoes/kayak and sufficient, but not generous, for the dory. The weather was perfect – warm (70s) during the days and easy sleeping in the low 50s at night. Read the full report.
