SUMMARY:South Platte River: Brighton to Fort Lupton March 18th\, 9:00 am - to 2:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Early Spring Beginner Day Paddle! \nMarch 18th\, 2023 @ 9:00 am – to 2:00pm (could reschedule to Sunday\, March 18\, depending on weather)\nSign ups begin March 1st \n The South Platte River from Brighton to Fort Lupton is generally a beginner friendly 9 mile trip that is lined with cottonwoods hosting numerous birds and other wildlife… a nice way to begin the paddling season. There is one mandatory portage at a dam and one boat chute drop early on that will most likely be  portaged depending on conditions. Meet at Veterans Park in Brighton and be ready to begin the car shuttle no later than 9 am.  Take out is at Fort Lupton’s ballfields park.  Bring Rain Gear\, canoe floatation\, painters\, spare paddle and of course a PFD. Also bring a set of dry clothes in a water proof bag and a lunch or snack.  Don’t pack too heavy\,  the two portages are not all that easy\, and you need to cross  a boulder field and fence. \nFor a detailed description of the river and parking areas go to: http://boc123.com/Kayak/RiverGuide/South_Platte_Brighton_City.cfm \nThis will be an ACA trip – e-mail your aca # to Mat. If not an ACA member\, bring $10 per person for the insurance fee.   Potentially the trip may be run on Sunday depending on the weather. \nWarning! – there are now a very lot of strainers (trees) in the river with a lot of tight turns – you need to have good boat handling skills to avoid them.  The lower the water is\, the tighter the gaps past the sweepers.  I expect the water to be on the low side of average \nSign up with trip coordinator Mat Bozek\,   matbozekx@gmail.com  No sign ups before  March 1st

SUMMARY:Yampa River\, South Beach to Duffy Mountain\, through Little Yampa Canyon. Class I.   CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:The South Beach to Duffy Mountain stretch of the Yampa an easy flatwater/Class I trip. Early May is a good time to float the Yampa because the bugs should not be a problem\, there should not be competition for campsites\, and usually the water level is excellent. \nThis is an easy trip for people new to canoeing and canoe camping. Pack a warm sleeping bag because the mornings may be frosty. A headwind is guaranteed and it could be strong.   \nThe first day’s float will be through private ranch land\, and that is where the eagle nests will be seen. We will see bald eagles and their nests; we may also see baby eagles in the nests. The second day we will be paddling through BLM land\, which is more scenic but without the eagle nests. Flocks of sheep with big scary sheep dogs may be seen\, but we do not have to camp with them. Docile cattle may roam past camp. \nThis stretch has about half a dozen improved campsites. Improved means a table and a fire ring. Most likely we will camp on a large island inside BLM land\, without improvements. This trip could be run in one long day. It could be run in 3 days\, which would have you paddling a little each day and sitting in camp a lot as there are not hiking trails to explore. I like this as a two-day trip. Usually\, we reach the take-out around 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon of the second day and can drive much of the way back to Denver in day light. \nProvided that we get approval from the Yampa State Park office\, we can camp at the put-in\, South Beach\, the night before launching. There is no fee to camp at South Beach\, but everyone will need to either have an annual state parks pass on their vehicle\, or purchase day passes.  State park passes also apply while we are on the river and both the put-in and take-out are managed by Yampa River State Park.  Both South Beach and Duffy Mountain river accesses have pit toilets. While on the river\, we will have to pack out our waste. If you prefer not to camp the night before we launch\, there are motel rooms that can be had in Craig\, about 10 or 15 minutes from South Beach.  \nTrip Coordinator: Dan Custer (custer.dan@gmail.com) \n

SUMMARY:White River – Rangely\, CO.\, May 20 - 22. 65 miles\, Class II
DESCRIPTION:White River from Trujillo Wash to the Enron Gas Wells take out. \nThis is a three day\, two night trip .  Plan on two nights camping on the river – that  allows a full day for the long drive back  on Mon to avoid weekend traffic – it is 285 miles from Denver to Rangely and another 30 or more miles to and from the takeout.  Shuttle takes a good 2 to 3 hours round trip. Put in at Trujillo Wash and take out at Enron Gas Wells. \nThis is an ACA trip – River Rating is Class I/II  (helmet required). There is one Class II rapid in Cowboy Canyon that can “generally” be avoided.  Intermediate paddling skill is required – this is NOT a beginner level trip. You must be able to maneuver your canoe around many strainers and through tight corners with very strong eddy lines\, and be able to eddy out quickly. \nBLM’s Floating the White River brochure describes this portion of the River “for 100 miles between Rangely\, Colorado\, and the river’s confluence with the Green River\, the White River cuts a rugged\, scenic trough into the high desert plains of the Uintah Basin. This is a place to paddle\, watch wildlife\, and occasionally leave the river for an unforgettable hike.” \nThis is an ACA trip. Non ACA members will need to pay $10 to cover insurance.    No dogs\, no little kids\, no “guests”\, except if you were planning on paddling with a non-RMCC member\, clear it with me first. \nNo sign ups before March 15th – NOTE!  I will be gone for 2 weeks in April\, and in and out of town after that. – be prepared to wait for any reply to an e-mail or phone call. \nTrip Coordinator: Mat Bozek\, matbozekx@gmail.com to register for this trip or ask questions.

SUMMARY:Niobrara River Memorial Day - Cancelled due to Wind
DESCRIPTION:This will be an ACA-sanctioned outing/event which requires EITHER ACA membership OR a $10/person insurance fee.  This is an easy\, kids-friendly class 1 river\, with our campground in the middle of the run.  Each day will be about 12 miles and about 4 hours. For more information about skill level and equipment information\, see RMCC Boating Requirements and Recommendations. \nThis beautiful stretch is one of America’s premier scenic heritage waterways; we’ll see many waterfalls\, beautiful hardwood forests\, and birds!  And the resident buffalo herd at the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge (https://www.fws.gov/refuge/fort_niobrara/ ) often has calves this time of year.  We run the river on Saturday and Sunday. Most will car camp at Smith Falls State Park\, Friday – Sunday nights; return to the Front Range after breakfast on Monday (about a 6-7 hour drive back to Denver) or continue to see the sights of Nebraska or head up to South Dakota. \nMemorial Day is shoulder season in the Sand Hills of Nebraska and we often have rain on parts of one or more days.  \nNiobrara River Trail description here .  \nDescription from Backpacker magazine:  http://www.backpacker.com/stories/paddle-nebraska-s-niobrara-river \nRiver gage at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=06461500.  We generally run it at between 1000 and 2000 cfs. \nSaturday\, we’ll meet at 10am (CDT) ready to shuttle from the Cornell Bridge put-in near Valentine\, down to the Smith Falls State Park campground and beach the canoes\, and then start from there again on Sunday.   If you are not camping\, but meeting us in the morning\, see the note\, below for directions. \nSaturday evening – optional potluck dinner at one of the convenient campsites.  There is a large group shelter generally available in case of rain. \nSunday\, we’ll meet near the boat ramp (where we took out on Saturday) at 10am (CDT) ready to shuttle from the campground to the take-out – probably at Sunny Brook Camp\, about a mile upstream of Rocky Ford.  The shuttle takes over an hour\, so non-drivers should plan to relax\, hike to Smith Falls\, and/or birdwatch at the campground while the drivers are driving. We will verify the 10am shuttle start on Saturday night. \nSunday evening: Informal group happy hour possible\, but no specific group activity planned.  Some of us will be checking out (i.e.\, scouting\, not running) the Norden chute and going to the The Nature Conservancy Niobrara Valley Preserve near there) (https://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/nebraska/placesweprotect/niobrara-valley-preserve.xml  \nCamping \nThe campground at Smith Falls State Park doesn’t open until May 1 and there is no official group site.   We used to have the campground to ourselves but in recent years\, its gotten more crowded. The campground was reconfigured for 2021\, adding more sites and mixing the use between tents and RVs in all sites. You can make reservations now – here’s the link to the on-line camping reservations  https://nebraskastateparks.reserveamerica.com \nYou can also call the park for reservations ( (402) 376-1306) but your best bet is on-line. The camping cost is $15/day/site plus a day use fee. \nNote: Directions to Cornell Bridge from Valentine:  Take Nebraska 12 east about 4 miles to the Ft Niobrara Wildlife refuge turn-off. Turn right towards the river and then make the first right into the access parking lot. Be there by 11 am ready to shuttle and be sure to purchase your $1 wrist-band at the kiosk \nContact Bill Ashworth (washwort@gmail.com) to register for the trip if you didn’t sign up via the Planning and Permit survey

SUMMARY:Cancelled. Colorado River: Cisco Landing to Lower Onion Creek.    Sat/Sun\, June 10 & 11
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled\, due to high water concerns.\nThis will be an ACA-sanctioned outing/event which requires either ACA membership OR a $10/person insurance fee.\nAlthough flatwater/Class I the entire way\, this trip is happening during what will likely be spring runoff so the Colorado River will be full & flowing fast. Good boat handling skills will be important.\n\nWe have Group Site A at BLM’s Dewey Bridge Campground on Utah Hwy 128 reserved for the nights of Fri\, June 9 & Sat\, June 10. No  water at the campground but vault toilets are available. The camping fee will be shared among those of us who stay there. Hotels are available in Fruita\, CO (1 hr) & Moab\, UT (45 min) for anyone who prefers not to camp.\n\nSaturday morning\,  we’ll gather at the campground\, drive to the put-in at Cisco Landing & float a somewhat remote\, rarely-run 16-mile section of the Colorado River thru desert & ranchland back to our campsite at Dewey Bridge. Lunch along the river.\n\nSunday morning\,  we’ll launch at Dewey Bridge to enjoy 8 miles of spectacular red rock scenery as we paddle to our take-out at Lower Onion Creek. Lunch along the river. We’ll likely arrive at the take-out by early afternoon.\n\nAn evening hike at nearby Fisher Towers or along the Amphitheater Trail might interest paddlers who are also hikers.\n\nTo sign up\, contact Trip Coordinator: Karla Tanner    kat81521@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Cancelled. North Platte River Exploratory Trip. June 11-13 (Sunday-Tuesday).
DESCRIPTION:Trip cancelled due to high water! \nUnfortunately\, projected water levels exceeding this trip’s acceptable max mean this trip must be cancelled. \nThis would be a trip to explore the North Platte River in 2 single day trips\, with a base camp at the BLM Dugway Campground in Sinclair\, Wyoming. \nPaddling from Dugway to Seminole Reservoir turns out to be undoable since there are no access points along the North Platte from the Shady Rest Access until Seminole Reservoir proper which would require a long paddle across the reservoir.  Day 1 would still be to paddle the I80/Ft. Steele to Dugway section.  For the 2nd day\, we can discuss and select a day run beforehand\, see list below.  Though we could also do I80 to Dugway again. \nRiver Difficulty: Class 1.  There is a checkboard of private property along the river and we cannot get out along private land.  In addition\, this year’s snowpack may result in June flows that are beyond our comfort level. \nLocation: Wyoming. Ft. Steele is just off I-80\, west of the Saratoga Exit and east of the Sinclair Exit. Dugway is along CR 351 accessed from the 2nd Sinclair exit on I-80. \nMileage: from Denver\, CO to Sinclair\, about 250 miles and 4 hours drive time. \nThe Dugway Campground is a BLM campground. Camping cost is free\, Reservations are not available. *The reason for the Sunday start is that the Dugway Campground is a small\, free BLM campground\, and we are thinking that it may get filled up on the weekend. \nOverview:  \nDrive up on Sunday.  Stop at Ft. Steele and check out the access area.  Continue to drive to Dugway and setup camp.  Get up on Monday\, drive to Ft. Steele\, shuttle\, put-in and paddle to Dugway and take-out.  Drive back to get the vehicles at Ft. Steele and return to Dugway for the evening.  Determine next day’s plan.  Get up on Tuesday and break camp.  Drive vehicles to the agreed upon put-in.  Shuttle vehicles to take-out.  Drive back and put in\, paddle to the take-out. Run shuttle.  Drive home. \nBoat Inspection and permits:  Boats need to pass the AIS inspection. Inspection Station is located on US 287 as you enter Laramie (at the Port-of-Entry). There is also one in Cheyenne\, just off I-25 and south of the I-80 interchange. \nWyoming Invasive Species Sticker required. Available online. \nMaps: \nUpper North Platte River Float (2020) which is online at https://wgfd.wyo.gov/WGFD/media/content/Fishing/Fishing%20Guide%20SWF/2022_upper_north_platte_river_float_map_FINAL_3-way-front-fold.pdf \nFor more information and to sign up\, please contact Anne: anne_fiore@yahoo.com

No prerequisites required. Upon successful completion of the course\, participants receive an ACA SWR Skill Assessment card suitable for raft guides and other professionals. \nCourse Overview: The Swiftwater Rescue workshop teaches recognition and avoidance of common river hazards\, execution of self-rescue techniques\, and rescue techniques for paddlers in distress. Emphasis is placed both on personal safety and on simple\, commonly used skills. Fundamental and more advanced techniques for dealing with hazards that carry greater risks for both victim and rescuer\, such as strainers\, rescue vest applications\, entrapments\, and pins\, also are practiced. Scenarios will provide an opportunity for participants to practice their skills both individually and within a team/group context. \nCourse Objectives: \n\n\nPromote proactive prevention of river accidents and injuries. \n\n\nDevelop and practice key self-rescue skills. \n\n\nIdentify and avoid river hazards by understanding hydrology\, hazards\, and river features. \n\n\nFocus on fast\, low-risk strategies for early management of river accidents \n\n\nDevelop and practice methods for recovering swimmers\, and loose boats and equipment \n\n\nDevelop and practice more advanced rope-based and in-water skills \n\n\nGain experience using the rescue PFD\, and understand its strengths and weaknesses \n\n\nUtilize rescue scene management principles needed within a paddling group \n\n\n\n\nPlease review the Essential Eligibility Criteria (EEC) and a basic gear list here. \nClick here to find the Swiftwater Rescue Sample Skills Course document from the American Canoe Association. \nCamping Information: \nFor camping\, there’s a ton in the area. The closest river-side paid developed campground is Hecla Junction\, but it does fill up super early. Then there’s a lot of free dispersed camping all within 2 to 20 minutes away. We also have a field that we are happy to let folks camp in. It’s flat and convenient\, but it’s not developed and there is highway noise. For no highway noise\, here’s a map to the closest place that’s just 2 minutes away. See the dirt road that goes off a bit to the southeast? That’s whole area is camping. It’s free\, so you never know how many RVs are posted up there\, but it usually works out. There’s more in the valley too if you are interested. \nFor further questions\, please contact Debbie Hinde at dhinde1@msn.com

SUMMARY:North Platte River Glendo to Guernsey Aug 12 2023
DESCRIPTION:RMCC members and guests are welcome to paddle the North Platte River from Glendo Reservoir almost to Guernsey Reservoir\, a distance of almost 20 miles. This is a fun\, day long paddling trip and I hope you can join us. It is Class I+ with one Class II section of standing waves that can be avoided; helmets required here.  For more information\, see RMCC Boating Requirements and Recommendations. We will paddle on Saturday\, Aug 12 (after the season silt flows).  Most will be camping in Two Moon Campground in Glendo State Park on Friday night (its about a 3 hour drive from Denver) before the trip as well as Saturday night for those who choose (there will be an optional  potluck that night). In recent years\, Glendo SP has required reservations for the campsites. They are large and can accommodate multiple tents and vehicles (extra vehicles will pay the full camping price) \nFull details can be found here:.New Glendo-to-Guernsey-details Please read the linked document as it has a lot of important information. It is also mandatory that you have a Wyoming Game & Fish Invasive Species decal for your boat and your boat also needs to be inspected when entering Wyoming.

SUMMARY:Lake Powell Houseboat/Kayak trip from Wahweap Marina (Page\, AZ) to the San Juan Arm. August 24-31(Thursday-Thursday) Class I-II
DESCRIPTION:Arrive at the Wahweap Marina late afternoon on the 24th and load gear and sleep on the houseboat. The plan is to hustle up-lake to the middle of the San Juan Arm in 2 days. Here we will drop off a set of self-sufficient paddlers and they will find their own way back to a marina. We will find good scenery\, petroglyphs\, waterfalls\, slot canyons\, and more. \nWe will go from 1 camp to the next on a 48’ Navigator houseboat as it has an angled upper deck upon which we can slide our kayaks up and down. Due to this boat stashing and also due to weather considerations (can get big winds and waves especially on the wider parts of the lake) we will limit boats to those that weigh less than about 60 pounds\, and want to have skirted sea kayaks or decked canoes. Contact Karen for questions about your boat. Class I-II due to waves caused by wind and/or speed boats. Also\, landings can be scarce. \nThe trip will be limited to about 11 people and a waiting list. 2-day riders will pay about 1/3 of the full trip rate which will be around $700 for houseboat rental\, tax\, gas\, insurance\, and a few small items. We will rotate group dinners and otherwise eat our own food. The boat has a nice kitchen with a big grill\, oven\, microwave and refrigerator/coolers.  \nShore camping also varies. We will be looking for good houseboat landings with a few tent spots when we have a large crew; but can all sleep on the big boat when less people are on board. If any paddlers want a 1/2 trip we can arrange to meet another set of self-sufficient paddlers at the confluence of the Colorado and San Juan and bring them to the Wahweap Marina.  \nContact Karen Amundson at canoekarena@msn.com for further information and to join the trip or be on the Wait List.
