Trip Report – Glendo to Guernsey 2019
July 20, 2019 By Bill Ashworth Our annual North Platte River Glendo to (almost) Guernsey saw 11 paddlers up against a 7500 cfs release from the Glendo Dam.

White River: Big Trujillo Wash to Enron Gas Wells
May 17th to 19th, 2019 By Mat Bozek I like doing the White River. It is remote and wild after you get past the first 8 miles or so of ranches and homes. Except for one very large group camped a mile or so below Bonanza bridge, we saw no one at all except one…
