Very cool man! Last year I visited the first time in my live the US and I took my Alpackaraft with me. I did not use it much: Not much water in summer, no budies (but I have been visiting Black Canyon of Gunnison - not in the packraft). I returned this summer where I did beautiful trips on Green River, Snake River and Arkansas. The map of packraft runs is exceptional!
Awesome how far you are pushing packrafts. Much easier than lugging a hardshell down there! The Black has been a dream of mine, now I'm not sure which would be the better boat.
I'm not a hardsheller, but my hardshell partners say they see no point in a hardshell in there since they aren't firing up the big and scary stuff anyways. Do it! One of the coolest canyons in the west!
@@jeffreycreamer Thanks for the advice. A run in my neck of the woods that could use a treatment from a team like yours is the Nellie Juan River. Luc Mehl did it a couple years ago but it seems like you guys are firing up a little more difficult whitewater. Great content!
Super fun video. So at 1:30 , is that you guys portaging the legendary under the big ass boulder part? Is that the only portage in that section of river?
